Tsunami warning for Northern California, Oregon canceled
A rare tsunami warning issued for coastal areas in Northern California and Oregon was canceled following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Thursday morning.
Gov. Gavin Newsom was briefed on the quake that occurred north of San Francisco in Humboldt County, and was meeting with emergency officials, his office said. The quake prompted the tsunami warning from Davenport to 10 miles south of Florence, Oregon.
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office initially warned residents to evacuate the area before the alert was rescinded. However, the agency did warn people in the area to be prepared for aftershocks.

The warning was canceled about 1.5 hours after the earthquake.
“The tsunami Warning is canceled for the coastal areas of California and Oregon,” the National Weather Service wrote on X. “No tsunami danger presently exists for this area. This will be the final U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center message for this event.”
The earthquake struck about 10:45 a.m. in the city of Petrolia, roughly 50 miles from Eureka.
“If you are located in this coastal area, move inland to higher ground,” the National Weather Service warning read.
The NWS initially warned of powerful waves that could impact coastal areas. The warning forced the San Francisco Zoo to close.

“Guests have been evacuated, animals secured and staff have moved to higher ground,” it said on social media.
The city’s emergency management agency warned people to stay out of the water and away from beaches, harbors, marina docks, and piers and move at least one block inland.

“We are activating our Emergency Operations Center in response to the Tsunami Warning. Please move off the coast and at least one block inland,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed wrote on X. “Public safety personnel are deploying to the coast to warn people to move inland. We will continue to provide updates as we have them.”
No tsunami warning was issued for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura or Los Angeles counties, but the areas were still being evaluated for potential tsunami impacts, the state Office of Emergency Management said.
Despite the cancelation of the warning, authorities recommended everyone to stay away from coastal areas because of rising tides.

The Denver Broncos’ 2026 schedule has arrived, with nine games on the road and eight games set for Empower Field at Mile High this season.
The Broncos are set to travel 19,129 miles this year, which ranks 15th in the NFL, according to Bill Speros of Bookies.com. Denver does not have an international game this year, which helped them rank near the middle of the pack in travel. Last season, the Broncos played in London and logged 23,267 travel miles, seventh-most in the league.
Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Los Angeles Chargers will travel 24,816 miles (seventh-most), the Las Vegas Raiders will trek 21,099 miles (13th-most) and the Kansas City Chiefs will log 18,401 miles (17th-most) in 2026.
The San Francisco 49ers (38,105) and Los Angeles Rams (34,847) are set to face off in Australia, giving them by far the most travel miles in the league. The Carolina Panthers (8,740) will have the easiest travel schedule this season.

SEATTLE – After making one turn through a six-man rotation following the return of Bryce Miller, the Seattle Mariners are making a tweak for the next time through.
Seattle Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Cal Raleigh and more
Manager Dan Wilson said Friday the plan is for the club to piggyback Miller and fellow right-hander Luis Castillo during the next turn. The M’s have yet to decide which of the two will start.
“That’s the approach we’re going to take and we’re ready to roll,” Wilson said. “I think our guys are in a good spot in terms of getting an extra day here, and I think that’s gonna come up huge for some of these guys.”
Miller, who started the season on the injured list with a left oblique strain, made his season debut Wednesday night in Houston, tossing 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball on 81 pitches. Castillo pitched Thursday’s series finale against the Astros, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings.
The pair is lined up to pitch Tuesday’s home game against the Chicago White Sox. Miller will have had five days of rest, while Castillo will have had the typical four.
Wilson said both players have been accepting of the decision.
“I think they were definitely in a good spot with it and understand it,” Wilson said. “And I think these guys, as we’ve talked about, these guys in this clubhouse, all of them want to do what’s best for the team. And these guys have really taken to that and they’re ready to go.”
Wilson acknowledged that a piggyback situation could get complicated by game flow and situations, but pointed to the potential benefit it could have in giving the bullpen a night off. Either way, it’s a situation that will be evolving for the club as they go.
“This is something that we haven’t done before, so it’s going to be a lot of waiting and seeing and understanding and assessing and making our adjustments as we go,” he said. “But in theory, you can lay it out, and you just don’t know how it’s actually going to play out. So we have to be open to different ways to proceeding, but we’ll take a look at it when we get there.”
The Mariners’ decision to go to a six-man rotation then a piggyback situation with Castillo and Miller come after widespread speculation about what the club’s plans would be when Miller returned from the IL.
When the season started, the assumption was right-hander Emerson Hancock would once again find himself as the odd man out when Miller returned. However, Hancock, a first-round pick at No. 6 overall in the 2020 draft, has earned himself a spot in the rotation during a breakout start to his season. In nine starts this year, he has a 3-2 record, 3.02 ERA and 56 strikeouts to 10 walks over 53 2/3 innings.
Castillo’s spot in the rotation started to come into question after the veteran started to struggle following a strong first start of the season. In seven starts from April 5-May 9, Castillo posted a 7.79 ERA over 32 1/3 innings and batters hit .329 against him. But his most recent start against Houston marked a step forward for the three-time All-Star and highest-paid pitcher on the Mariners’ roster.
