An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck the Gulf of California on Sunday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said. The quake struck at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), EMSC said. Reuters reports that shortly after the quake occurred, the U.S. Tsunami Warning System said there was no tsunami danger for the U.S. West Coast, British Columbia, or Alaska. Small variations in seawater levels, of a few centimetres, may be detected in the region where the quake occurred, the Mexican civil defence office later said via Twitter. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) pegged the earthquake at a magnitude of 6.3.
