Magnitude 5.9 - OFF THE COAST OF OREGON

The Oregon coast is not very populated compared to other west coast states. I'm not surprised there is a lack of "did you feel it" reports.

I live in Portland, about 70 miles from the Oregon coast. We felt nothing here. Please excuse my ignorance, but if there is a big quake, how could it destroy the whole west coast? The fault line is 150 miles offshore. Sure it would be felt in Portland and Seattle, but destroy the whole west coast? There is more to the west coast than California. Yes, if a big one hits there it is bad news. NW would have damage if it hit up here especially along the coast but not for inland locations like Portland.

Only the Pacific NW...it will have little effect on SoCal...unless it sets off the San Andres.

Hey guys just a thought, no EQ expert but could this be a good thing? Maybe the built up pressure is being slowly released.

The same freezer that won't be working because of the earthquake? or a different one.

Any After Shocks?????

So were you the one who sent me the red karma an called me a fear monger?

I find it extremely sad that you live in Portland and don't know that your entire city will be destroyed the next time the Cascade subduction zone hits us with a 9 plus earthquake and 70 foot tsunamis from Southern Canada to Northern California.

Wake up, there is an actual potential for REAL doom off the Washington, Oregon, and Northern California Coast.

not fair. what needs to be done is a 10. earthquake in new york and washington and london and the vatican.

Complete myth. Even if this was a 7.0 quake it doesn't mean the worse is yet to come - see Japan last year for perfect example.

Cascadia is getting ready to blow folks, we all know it's been years in the making, 300+ to be exact.

Really? If the Juan de Fuca slips, which runs from Oregon to Mendocino, a 1600 mile chunk of earth will create a tsunami estimated to be 200', with 15 minutes warning, which could take out much of the west coast. If the Cascadia slips, and there are estimates it is capable of a 10, there won't be a west coast.

I notice that you are living in Oregon too.

I'm watching live seismo's, the stations are coastal, they haven't shown anything yet.

Buy bread and milk and store it in your freezer because things are going to get intense soon. I can feel it. Please prepare.

Yep - I always suspect that the one exactly 10k deep are man-made HAARP quakes.

Shut the fuck up

Interesting insight, I've never heard it put like that.

Why do people always say to have bread and milk? Haha I understand bread, kinda, but milk?! Make sure to stock up on cows milk because that's gonna save you. Haha. Glp. I rarely say anything and most of the time just watch this train wreck. How many of you all are under 20 yrs old? Seriously. I really want to know.
