There is now an updated notice timestamped at 11:24 Pacific time:

https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/2024/12/05/so1aq0/2/WEAK...

which (still) says:

* No tsunami observations are available to report.

And another one at: https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PHEB/2024/12/05/24340001/2/WE...

intended for a worldwide audience which says:

  * THERE IS NO LONGER A TSUNAMI THREAT FROM THIS EARTHQUAKE.

I should have hit Fort Bragg by now but I'm not seeing that on https://www.noyocenter.org/live-web-cam

The earthquake was real but it is probably really hard to predict if that leads to a tsunami.

Is that webcam guaranteed to be a live/up to date feed? regardless I'd imagine there to be some confirmation by now.

There's a timestamp in the top right, so yes. Looks like no tsunami

I just seen two people walk by... seems like a bit of a gamble to do that.

I was watching the crescent city webcam and watched the fishing boats rushing out of the harbor after the quake. The webcam is now down, so I hope they made it.

Crescent city has a long history of being devastated by norcal quakes due the the bathymetry and costline profile.
