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The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office initially warned residents to evacuate the area before the alert was rescinded.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.

Utah
Utah Jazz sign defensive wing to roster
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Josh Okogie to a 2-year $12M deal.
Okogie shot 38.5% from three last season in Houston, as Charania mentions, and fills a need for the Jazz, who are looking for defensive help on the perimeter.
It’s a clear sign that Utah is in the business now of building its roster to compete next season for a playoff spot. After the Walker Kessler trade, the starting lineup will likely be Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic. But Utah needs depth and defense. With Okogie on the roster, the team gains a veteran presence and a defense-first player who can also shoot. It’s likely to be a trend for Utah going forward that they bring on players with size who defend but are also capable shooters and scorers on offense. At this point, Utah is not in the business of taking on project players but is looking to fill needs on its roster. Okogie does just that.
At this point, the most likely potential signings, or trade, could be more center depth after the Kessler trade, and possibly another ball-handling guard. It’s not clear if Utah is done with the roster but this signing will add nice depth.
Washington
Review: ‘Young Washington’ is an imperfect film perfect for kicking off the 4th of July
There are some movies you admire. There are others that surprise you.
“Young Washington” grazes the first category while falling into the second.
I wasn’t expecting to be swept away by a relatively modest historical drama about George Washington before he became the father of a nation. And for a while, I wasn’t.
The film takes its time introducing the future president, and that deliberate pace occasionally borders on sluggish. The first half struggles to find its rhythm, and there are moments when the story feels more interested in checking historical boxes than pulling us into the drama.
But somewhere along the way, something changed.
I stopped watching a history lesson and started watching a young man trying to figure out who he wanted to become.
By the end, I found myself surprisingly invested. Not because “Young Washington” is a perfect movie. Because it reminded me why stories about imperfect people often make for the best history.
A surprisingly ambitious production
One of the first things that stood out was just how good this movie looks.
This isn’t a blockbuster with the budget of films like “The Patriot” or “The Last of the Mohicans.” In fact, when you consider what those productions cost – and adjust for inflation – the difference is enormous.
That’s what makes this film’s production value so impressive.
The costumes, locations, and battle sequences all feel authentic enough to transport you back to colonial America. There are moments where it’s clear the filmmakers had to be creative with their resources, but more often than not they make those limitations disappear.
It’s a reminder that good filmmaking isn’t always about having the biggest budget.
Sometimes it’s about knowing exactly where to spend the money you do have.
An uneven cast, but strong performances where it matters
The acting is a bit of a mixed bag.
There are performances that occasionally feel stiff and a few scenes where the dialogue doesn’t land with the emotional weight it’s reaching for.
Fortunately, those moments never completely pulled me out of the movie.
Ben Kingsley brings a welcome sense of gravitas whenever he appears, and Andy Serkis continues his remarkable ability to disappear into whatever role he’s given. Their performances help ground the film and elevate several key moments.
More importantly, the actor portraying the young Washington succeeds where it matters most.
He made me curious.
Rather than presenting Washington as the flawless hero we’ve seen in countless paintings and history books, the film allows him to be uncertain, ambitious and, at times, deeply conflicted.
That humanity gives the story life.
The best history asks bigger questions
What I appreciated most wasn’t simply learning facts about George Washington’s early life. It was watching the experiences that slowly shaped the leader he would become.
The movie explores questions that feel surprisingly relevant today.
Why do we chase success? Is ambition about building our own legacy? Seeking recognition? Or is it about leaving the world a little better than we found it?
Washington makes mistakes, he learns hard lessons and his failures become just as important as his victories.
Whether every conversation happened exactly as portrayed is almost beside the point. The film captures something emotionally true about leadership – wisdom is usually earned, not inherited.
That’s where “Young Washington” found its strongest footing.
A finale worth waiting for
For much of its runtime, I’d describe “Young Washington” as good. Not great.
The pacing continues to wobble, and I occasionally found myself wishing the story would move with a little more urgency.
Then came the final act.
Without spoiling anything, the emotional payoff finally arrives.
The themes the movie has been quietly building suddenly click into place, and what felt like a slow burn becomes something genuinely moving.
I left the theater feeling more invested than I expected, and that ending elevated the entire experience.
Sometimes a great conclusion doesn’t erase a movie’s flaws. It simply reminds you why the journey mattered.
What parents should know
“Young Washington” is PG-13, and that seems appropriate. There is no vulgar language, no sexual content, but it is a war movie, and it can get violent. It’s not gruesome or graphic, but there are battle scenes, deaths, and some blood. Young viewers may find it unsettling, and some older viewers may cover their eyes a time or two.
The violence is not romanticized but rather shown to depict the horrors of war.
Conclusion
“Young Washington” isn’t the definitive Revolutionary War epic.
It has pacing issues, some performances are uneven, and the script occasionally struggles to maintain momentum.
But I also found myself thinking about it long after the credits rolled.
In an era when so many historical films try to overwhelm audiences with spectacle, “Young Washington” focuses on something much simpler: the formation of character.
It asks how ordinary choices become extraordinary leadership. How failure shapes conviction. How service ultimately matters more than personal glory.
Watching it on the eve of the Fourth of July felt especially fitting.
As America celebrates 250 years, this movie serves as a reminder that the nation’s founding wasn’t accomplished by mythical figures who always knew the right answer. It was shaped by real people who stumbled, learned, and ultimately chose something bigger than themselves.
That’s a story worth telling.
And despite its imperfections, “Young Washington” tells it well enough that I walked away feeling just a little more grateful, and a little more excited, to celebrate this great country I have the opportunity to call home.
