Well makes one wonder if the earthquake will have any impact on the marijuana gardens in that area?After all humbolt is well known for its wonderful gardens.
Humboldt County is much much more than THAT unless you are too stoned to see it!
Eureka sits just on the top of the San Andreas Fault This line is created by the meeting of the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. As these plates move, sometimes independently of each other, they cause the earth and seabed to shake, rattle and roll. IF this 6.9 quake had occurred on land instead of out to sea, it would have been devastating.
