to the day since an earthquake hit this same spot. our meteorologist, drew tuma, explains what's going on. drew: this is called the mendocino triple junction. we have three plates coming together in this area, the north american, the pacific, and the gorda plate. when they come together, it's common to have earthquakes. in fact, this exact date in 2021, we did have a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in the region, but it was much deeper, about 27 km in depth. fewer people felt that earthquake. this one this morning was about 10 km deep, shallow in nature, and that's why a lot more people felt this earthquake. ama: the earthquake jolted many people out of bed, and that included jack, the publisher of the eureka newspaper, who told us earlier, it was the strongest earthquake he's ever felt. >> my whole room was shaking back and forth.

i could hear crashing noises, glass breaking. i could hear it sounded like wood splintering and everything was rattling. we went and surveyed the damage. there were dishes everywhere. lamps falling, being shot across the room. propane tanks tipping over. it just rattled the house. it was incredible. ama: he and his wife got dressed quickly, out of fear there may be a tsunami alert, but there wasn't. he has not seen major damage but there are long lines at gas stations from people preparing in case of an evacuation. this earthquake was a real live test of california's early warning system. 3 million californians got an alert just before the shaking started. >> at 2:34 a.m., hundreds of thousands of bay area residents were jolted out of bed by an earthquake alert on their cell phone. i woke up and saw a drop, cover, and hold on message on my cell

phone. i went into a doorway, but i didn't feel any shaking, at least not this time. california's shake alert system started delivering alerts to the my shake app in 2019. >> we've sent out 65, 70 alerts to very places -- various places, but this was the biggest so far. this alert went out to 270,000 users of the app. the alerts only get sent to people who we expect to feel shaking intensity three or greater shaking, in an earthquake where we estimate the magnitude to be greater than 4.5. if you get the alert, you should drop, cover, and hold on. >> the amount of the warning depends on how close you are to the epicenter. if you are close, maybe one second of warning. if you are further away, you could have a full minute before you feel the shaking. plenty of people felt it, according to usgs, from san jose

to medford, oregon. >> that's the value of early warning. people protect themselves so they don't fall over, they don't have things fall on them, and we can significantly reduce the number of injuries. >> we encourage you to download the myshake app. >> we live in earthquake country. >> a 6.4 in ferndale is very different than a 6.4 in downtown san francisco. people being made aware of it, to us, this is all positive, so they can be prepared for the next one. >> i'm leslie brinkley, abc 7 news. ama: if you didn't get the alert from myshake, you hopefully got this one just minutes after the earthquake. download the app and get push alerts so you know when news breaks. dan: it's been years since an earthquake this magnitude hit the bay area. we will revisit the site of the last 6.0 earthquake to explore what lessons have been learned. ama: engineering revenge -- a

and identifying underserved areas. nearly $4 million will create a plan. >> generations before us brought electricity and water to everyone in america. they built the interstate highway system. this is our generation's big infrastructure moment. zach: no date has been set as to how soon we will see the benefit of the funding, but they will kick off a public engagement process to fully develop how the money will be used, a process that will aim to be effective and equitable. the hope is that it's done efficiently. >> hopefully, this can go as fast as the speed of the internet and we see it very soon. zach: zach fuentes, abc 7 news. dan: libby schaaf has just weeks left on the job as oakland's mayor. tonight, she talks about unfinished business. >> this guy is stealing my package from a car, and this guy took my package off of the porch. this is the final glitter bomb.

california grizzly. byron shows us his debit card, no chip. none of the cards we've seen have a chip. >> there's no chip. >> on the back, it has a bird. >> so we asked. the franchise tax board tells us it is a supply chain issue, saying, during the competitive bidding process, we learned the supply of chips is limited, due to a nationwide shortage. the contract allows the company to issue cards without chips rather than wait for a supply. officials said chips are only one security measure. californians are still reeling from massive edd fraud during the pandemic, when scammers drained millions in unemployment benefits from edd debit cards. >> it came in the mail. michael: he finally got his refund, so he cashed it pronto. >> i feel much better, thanks to you. michael: i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. dan: already, we have received
