Magnitude 6.4 earthquake strikes Gulf of California

CALIFORNIA, 19th June, 2023 (WAM) — An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck the Gulf of California on Sunday, Reuters quoted the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) as saying.

Mexico's civil defence office confirmed that there were no immediate reports of damage in the areas where the earthquake was felt, but recommended boats and the nearby coastal population take precautions due to possible currents in ports.

The quake struck at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), EMSC said.

Shortly after the quake occurred, the US Tsunami Warning system said there was no tsunami danger for the US West Coast, British Columbia, or Alaska.
