Is that on the Cascade fault line? Seems near the southern end..That’s the one that everyone worries about..potential for an 8.4, and a BIG tsunami..

Doesn't look like it's near a highly populated area, thats good news.
6.0 is a big one.

Be prepared, but don’t be afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Living in fear stinks.

Plus, you can be a rescuer instead of a rescuee, because you were prepared, and were not petrified with fear.

I put an app on the iphone just after Haiti

it texts each time one is reported anywhere

There has been an awful lot of activity since the full moon

You can really see how the plates shift on one side and then the other

It's a free app called .. Earthquake

The wavecharts :

These are traces which contributed to the calculation of the ShakeMap for this event.

Mendocino Triple Junction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Mendocino Triple Junction is a geologic triple junction where the San Andreas Fault meets the Mendocino Fault and the Cascadia subduction zone, separating three tectonic plates: the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate and the Gorda Plate. It is located just offshore of Cape Mendocino in northern California[1].

According to this, it seems more of the northern end of San Andreas fault

Naw, we are way up on the Central Oregon Coastline.

Just one of the pingettes on BDee list and was living in Cali when the quake hit in 89 SanFran bay area.

Grew up in the east bay and shakes were quiet the norm in the spring when I was a kid playing out in the street.

Last busy small quake swarm (felt) I remember was 1979-80.

Had to offshore up here in Oregon that were felt but that was about a decade ago.

USGS just pinged again. Be right back.
