Poseidon, as the god of the seas, held great power and significance for the ancient Greeks. He was a very popular god, and is consequently the subject of many myths. He appears in both the works of Homer and of Hesiod as the brother of Zeus, and therefore from the first generation of Olympians. And just as Zeus ruled the sky and wielded the deadly thunderbolt, Poseidon controlled, from his sea-domain, the devastating force of the earthquake. This ability to summon earthquakes earned Poseidon the epithet of "Earth Shaker", a name that is fairly common in Greek poetry and literature.
Sheesh, they cannot yet make up their minds..LOL They keep bouncing back and forth between:
"NEWS ALERT: NOAA says there is still indeed a tsunami warning in effect for the Washington and Oregon Coastline and southern British Columbia coast due to a 7.0 quake off the northern California coast."
and
NEWS ALERT: The tsunami warning has been canceled for all areas as of 9:12 p.m. NOAA says tsunami sensors have not detected any significant waves anywhere on the West Coast. They still warn of minor local sea-level changes this evening, but the danger of a damaging tsunami has passed.
