Howdy Neighbor.
Did you see those 2 micro quakes 14 miles off of Newport last week.
Been here watching USGS for 20 yrs and that is the closest action I have seen.
I have felt two offshore (IIRC about 100 miles) in the last ten years or so.
I just shake my head when looking a those homes on the sand spit up in the Taft area with the Tsunami warning signs adjacent on Hwy 101.
Yes, I believe at one time it was. Since then it has been developed and from what I understand most every property on the island is leased and the housing is mostly low-income families and students. My son is in graduate school at the Academy of Art (I think that’s the right name...I’ve had no sleep, lol )and he picked a place to live there (unseen) off Craig’s list, so hopefully he’s not made a really bad choice ;)
