Magnitude 4.3 earthquake strikes near Ferndale, California

This is off the coast near Eureka California. For those unfamiliar with California that is near the Oregon Border. The significance of an above 4.3 might only be in reaction in the faults and plates to the 8.1 and the 7.1 in Mexico. Or it could also be a harbinger of larger quakes here in northern or Southern California. We just have to wait and see.
