A tsunami warning stretching across swaths of the west coast has been lifted after sparking panic and prompting evacuations.
The official warning \u2013 the National Weather Service\u2019s most severe advisory \u2013 was issued after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook off the coast of northern California, near the city of Eureka at 10:44 a.m. local time Thursday.
At least 5.3 million people in California were under the warning, which stretched over 500 miles of coastline from Oregon to the San Francisco Bay area. Many were urged to evacuate or move to higher ground  at short notice over fears a dangerous surge of water would strike just after noon local time. 
Sirens wailed across several counties, phones lit up with warnings, beaches were cleared, students were let out of school, the train tunnel connecting San Francisco to Oakland was shut down, and residents hastened to the roadways.
But just before the wave was supposed to strike, officials lifted the warning, allowing Californians to breathe a sigh of relief.

\u201cIt was a strong quake, our building shook, we\u2019re fine but I have a mess to clean up right now,\u201d said Julie Kreitzer, who owns a market near the quake\u2019s epicenter in the heart of the warning zone.
Her building was undamaged \u2013 none have been reported severely affected so far \u2013 but its interior was trashed by the shaking.
\u201cWe lost a lot of stuff. It\u2019s probably worse than two years ago. I have to go, I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it\u2019s going to be a tough year,\u201d she said.
The shocks were felt as far south as San Francisco, where they sustained for several seconds.
At a middle school near the epicenter in Eureka, lights swayed overhead and students sheltered under their desks.
\u201cThe kids were so great and terrified. It seemed to go back and forth for quite a long time,\u201d said Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel, who also works at the middle school.
Aftershocks continue to be felt across the region, which is a normal occurrence whenever earthquakes strike.
The Golden State caught a lucky break with this quake \u2013 events that register 7.0 and up on the Richter scale are considered especially dangerous.
San Francisco\u2019s devastating 1906 quake \u2013 which killed 3,000 \u2013 clocked in at 7.9.
Seismology experts have been cautioning for years that California \u2013 which is bisected by the volatile San Andreas Fault Line \u2013 is overdue for \u201cthe big one,\u201d a quake which could bring about devastation similar to the 1906 disaster.
