A 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit the coastal region of Northern Carolina Monday 20th, around midday.
The earth-shake reportedly centered in the Pacific Ocean, about 24 miles west of Petrolia and 44 miles southwest of Eureka.
However, no threat of a Tsunami has been issued by the authorities.
According to Dr. Lucy Jones, a Seismologist, she reported on Twitter that the earthquake was “a transform fault, meaning the motion is sideways. No vertical motion so little water is displaced and thus no tsunami warning.”
