Humbolt squid beached in La Jolla

NBC News is reporting the beaching of dozens of Humbolt squid after the quake that shook southern California:

Jumbo Humboldt squid wash up minutes after 4.0 earthquake hit off the coast of La Jolla

Dozens of dazed Humboldt squid that were about three to four feet long and weighed close to 40 pounds were flapping around on La Jolla Shores beach.

A spokesman for Scripps Institution of Oceanography said at this point they do not see a connection between the squid and the earthquake, but plan to look into it. Dozens of squid washing up at the same time is unusual but it has happened before, according to Sgt. Rains. But Mary Skeen said it is a first for her.
