It hit just before 11 a.m., local time, and they briefly issued a tsunami warning but that was canceled. It wasn't a thrust type of movement that would displace water, but an almost classic sideways (strike-slip) movement, according to the beachball graphic on the USGS event page.
That page also has aftershock forecasts, but this was in the Mendocino Fracture Zone and strong seismicity isn't unusual. There will be aftershocks for a while.
We're way north of the area and didn't feel a thing, of course. Did anyone else?
I only just heard about it and read a general report of "damage," but hopefully there are no injuries.
