yes now that you brought it up, it has been a while.
Sorry for the delay on answering you, I had a bit of work to do in the formatting of the ANSS data to get where I wanted it to be.
I think we went over this one last year, of course it's not in Oregon at all, its in Nevada.
Bald Mountain, Nevada, or as the Nevada Seismological Laboratory marks them " X mi NNE of Vya" (anything between 14 and 29 mi). Vya is a few houses
9km SSW of Alkalai Lake, in Nevada, it appears to be the nearest civilization to the earthquakes epi-centres.
Its a tough place to give a location for, but the nearest physical landmark is Bald Mountain. It is marked as a +2191 m on National Geographic Maps.
It's partly marked on Google Earth as "Yellow Peak".
Pretty desolote place, I walked around the area on Google Earth, no sign of man or beast, and the "lakes" are all dried up.
20km radius search of the area inside a circle with the earthquakes from the last 60 days (572 of them) on ANSS reveals nothing much prior to 2014;
18/06/1987 04:50:08,41.93,-119.689,5,M4.2
29/08/1997 15:48:09,41.847,-119.786,5,M3.9
03/07/2007 15:09:41,41.834,-119.821,5,M2.8
12/05/2012 02:52:24,41.8687,-119.6513,10.28,M1.02
07/06/2012 12:31:56,41.8833,-119.8448,0.02,M1.68
05/01/2013 17:16:46,41.9107,-119.5438,0,M2.56
21/03/2013 02:27:22,41.926,-119.6637,6.32,M1.8
12/04/2013 20:17:58,41.868,-119.6052,3.55,M1.71
Then it kicked off for real on 12/07/2014 with some 730 smaller quakes up until 04/11/2014, when the periods between became minutes apart rather than
hours or days apart, 71 quakes through to 05/11/2014 07:23:04, when a 4.7Mw hit and then it was all on, through to the end of March 2015 when it
started to taper off. There were some 3,950 earthquakes from 04/11/2015 to 31/03/2015.
From 01/04/2015 the periods between quakes reverted to hours and days apart again, through to 16/07/2015 when in a short period a series of 3 mid to
low M3's triggered a 4.5Mw and she was off again, 709 earthquakes through to yesterday.
