Magnitude 6.5 - Offshore Northern California

I've been watching CA intently since the 5.8 in Baja last week. Something has struck me as odd about the earthquake map lately. A pattern of multiple 2+ mag quakes within minutes of each other, along every set of fault lines, over a period of weeks. (Lots of activity of course is not unusual for Cali but there was just something about this...)

Last night, there was a 3.3. right on the plate boundary off the coast of Oregon.

Hopefully this is the end of it.

Another, fairly big one. 4.5, just confirmed on quake.usgs.gov...

Well that's not good. I wish Russianscientist would chime in here. His equipment covers over here.

8 aftershocks, only one is below a 3.0. Is that even normal?

....yeeah upon looking at this more what concerns me (as a citizen of Cascadia) is that it's on the edge of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The 3.3 last night was smack in the middle of it.

Then again, these things do happen from time to time and nothing catastrophic happens. A couple of years ago there was a similar magnitude quake in about the same spot.

Pretty normal, this was a big quake. Expect more for a while.

Gotcha Thanks, "where is alyssaangel when ya need her, or robinmarks, or any of the yellowstone gang"?

I was standing outside in Eureka when the quake occurred. Damage is minimal. Lots of power outages. Some broken windows. A few burst water mains. Lots of people walking around and standing outside their houses. I heard a transformer explode about 10 seconds after the quake. Tsunami sirens were going off in areas near the shore, though I didn't personally hear them.


It was a surreal thing to watch an earthquate from outdoors, where you can see the whole world move. Buildings bent and trees twisted... I was surprised that so little damage had been inflicted.

Did you, by any chance, get pictures? That sounds freaky. I'm glad not much harm was done.

Nope, sorry. Didn't have my camera.

A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck Eureka at around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, leaving much of the city without power and police scanners buzzing with reports of damage and injuries.

Just out of curiosity, what do you suppose caused earthquakes before HAARP was built or conceived of? Quite a leap to blame all earthquakes on HAARP. In particular in a place that is prone to earthquakes.

Sorry didn't mean to make it seem like i was putting all my potatoes in my sack.. ( not sure if that is the right expression ) not saying its haarp .. but i just love how fema gets lucky with the timing of these dates ... they are suppose to run drills on there just seems to be an emergency on teh same day ... like 9/11 .. fema was in there 9/10 b/c they were conducting a drill .. but i am sure many people are aware of that here...

dont mean to fear monger we have enough of that with all this BS news corps.

my apologize my good friend

10 or more aftershocks. There are probably more to come.
