(Reuters) -- A magnitude 7 earthquake hit off the northern California coast on Thursday, prompting a tsunami warning that was later canceled for a large stretch of the California and Oregon coasts, officials said.

Some 4.7 million residents of California and Oregon had been under the tsunami warning before it was canceled, the National Weather Service said.
