Video of yesterday’s 7.0 quake slapping the Comfort Inn in Fortuna by Bodhi Ench.
Humboldt County has a knack for keeping December interesting—especially if you’re a fan of earthquakes. Over the last four years, three major temblors have shaken the North Coast during the holiday season, each larger than the last.

It all began on December 20, 2021, when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake rattled the region. Though it sent boulders tumbling onto highways and shattered windows across towns, it was more of a wake-up call than a disaster. Residents cleaned up the mess, patched their windows, and carried on.

The following December, on the same day in 2022, Humboldt wasn’t so lucky. A 6.4 quake struck at 2:37 a.m., leaving a trail of destruction. Broken glass and toppled shelves in businesses from Fortuna to Eureka were just the beginning. Bridges buckled, including the historic Fernbridge, which closed for months. Iconic buildings like the Loleta Creamery and Eureka’s Lloyd Building were severely damaged, some beyond repair. Roughly 150 homes were damaged or destroyed, leaving residents grappling with the aftermath well into 2023. A 5.4 aftershock on January 1, 2023, less than two weeks later caused further damage.
Now, in 2024, the trilogy has gained a new chapter with the largest quake yet—a major 7.0 magnitude shaker that struck yesterday morning, December 5. Early reports indicate much less damage than in 2022. Though some schools closed, as did some grocery stores, hospitals and major roadways remained open.
Caltrans reports that Fernbridge remains open. They do say, however, “A preliminary inspection showed minor damage that can be addressed in project-related activities at a later date.” [Image from Caltrans]
However, we have heard of cracked foundations, broken water and gas lines, and even one moderate injury in Humboldt County alone.
But yesterday’s was the third biggest in Humboldt County–in 1980 there was a 7.4 that injured six people and in 1992 there was a 7.2 near Petrolia that injured 356.
This year’s earthquake has firmly cemented December as the month that truly rocks and shatters expectations. The season’s seismic greetings continue to shake up Humboldt, leaving their mark with every earth-shattering jolt.
When your teacher says, ‘Stay grounded,’ but the Earth has other plans—Humboldt’s own wildlife photographer and remote yoga teacher, Ann Constantino, keeps her Zen until the quake sends her scrambling for safety. (How many of us have similar stories?)
What do you think…? All of us—Same month, same place next year?
INFO on What to DO:
The Humboldt County Sheriff provided this information:
Report Damages
If you or your business were affected by the earthquake, please report damages to the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services (OES) by filling out the 2024 December Earthquake form.
This form is meant to help Humboldt County OES assess the level of damage sustained by the community. Financial or other individual assistance is not coordinated or provided through this damage reporting process.
Be Prepared
Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and be prepared for aftershocks. The U.S. Geological Survey currently estimates that the likelihood of another 7.0 M earthquake is less than 1%, however it is estimated that there is a 53% chance of an earthquake in the 5.0 M ranges and a 7% likelihood of a 6.0 M over the next week.
For more information on what to do before, during and after an earthquake, please visit ready.gov.earthquakes.
Reporte Daños
Si usted o su negocio fueron afectados por el terremoto, por favor reporte los daños a la Oficina de Servicios de Emergencia del Condado de Humboldt (OES) llenando el formulario de Terremoto de Diciembre 2024.
Este formulario está destinado a ayudar a la OES del Condado de Humboldt a evaluar el nivel de daños sufridos por la comunidad. Ayuda financiera u otra ayuda individual no es coordinada o proporcionada a través de este proceso de reporte de daños.
Esté preparado
Se anima a los residentes a permanecer vigilantes y estar preparados para las réplicas. El Servicio Geológico de EE.UU estima actualmente que la probabilidad de otro terremoto de magnitud 7.0M es inferior al 1%, sin embargo, se estima que hay un 53% de probabilidad de un terremoto en los rangos de magnitud 5.0M y un 7% de probabilidad de una magnitud 6.0M durante la próxima semana.

Ok people we need the geologist explanation. All I know is there are winter southern currents bringing warmer water temperatures north. If this effects earthquakes I don’t know. But ! Wholly cow people this is the west Coast and Earthquakes are part of living here! That was a disaster disgrace from what the reports are. I definitely am upset people caused such an uproar . The county officials obviously ARE NOT prepared! And Arcata and Eureka should never force evacuations!!! It’s a good test to see that people are stuck in LA LA land and think a MILD shaker is going to DESTROY the coast!!!!!! HELLO!!
What a strange place to find a Russian troll bot that barely writes in English ???

I have to share this with you. This is true for me and my neighbor who causally mentioned, “Did you hear the loud Boom? ( Just before the earthquake). I said yeah, you heard it too? This is minutes after the event. She is steady minded and was surprised she heard it too. Where I’m going with this is if we were to create a scenario where a bomb went off, immediately the energy that is a zillion atoms make a concerted sound. It wasn’t harsh, it dominated the horizon west to east. It wasn’t a roar but it was energy dominating the sky, heading towards me as the rolling did, directly underfoot. Right under me. I don’t think this was a one off. It was a shot accross the bow. Folks, I hate to break it to, but if we freeze here with a lot of rain- warms up- that’s earthquake weather as we enter the winter equinox. Why December 21 so much for our events? It’s not over this month, it’s going to be bigger, so don’t relax too much now. I think we can have a repeat experience.
There are no faults. ‘Earthquake faults “ Are repetitive strikes of Directed Energy in the same geographical locations year after year.
Earthquakes are stimulated and or created with Directed or Focused Energy.
“Earthquake faults” are actually substrate’s of conductive materials ie granite or quartz. These veins of conductive materials give the impression of long faults……
In reality the frequency/ energy carries through the entire substrate of conductive materials.
The next target of the U.S Government’s Space Force’s NOAA 20 and 21
The Roger’s Hayward , un-fault. In actuality a substrate of conductive materials……

If only scientist’s and intellectuals knew the truth. All earthquakes since 1958 have been created utilizing low earth orbiting satellites. These weaponized satellites are placed in geosynchronous, geostationary and Polar orbits. The next target of NOAA’s 20 and 21 Polar orbiting satellites will be the San Francisco Bay Area’s 8.0 < magnitude 1:36 +~duration 3:03am to 6:46am Water will rise
Actually Nick HAARP has not been responsible for earthquakes. Weather modification yes. All earthquakes are performed utilizing low earth, Polar orbiting satellites.

I was watching live news after the quake and it showed circles showing the aftershocks, 15 at that time, around noon.
What caught my eye was a 5.0 that seems to have been right at the shore, and on top of the San Andreas fault.
Only a day before the quake, a YouTube channel that deals with weather, etc, had a warning, saying we have been having quakes all along the fault this year. They predicted a quake. I guess it was Rio Del.
But it makes me wonder about a more massive quake, involving the whole fault. The big one, as they say.

There was also a big earthquake on December 26 1994. It caused major damage to my restaurant in Arcata, and the building it was in.
This one? https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/3077547/mag5quake-Dec-26-1994-offshore-Northern-California-USA.html
5.4 almost right on shore. Big and close enough to do some damage.
Note to self: Win lottery and start spending month of December in Hawaii. Earthquake weather remains elusive but Earthquake Month? We got that.
Kinda OT but why is Cape Mendocino in Humboldt County?What’s up with that?
At one time it was part of that county, when Humboldt didn’t yet exist and was later carved out of Trinity in the 1850s.
Cape Mendocino was named in the 16th century long before California and its division into counties existed.
Cape Mendocino has never been part of Mendocino County but was part of Trinity until 1853 when Humboldt County was created.
Hawaii is considered to be seismically active: https://www.usgs.gov/news/volcano-watch-recent-big-island-earthquakes
