Swarm of earthquakes detected off Oregon coast

Post by jrsjr »

Have you all read about the swarm of earthquakes happening off the Oregon coast? Here's a link to the article the following is quoted from. Check this out...

There have been more than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles southwest of Newport. The biggest was magnitude 5.4 and two others were more than magnitude 5.0, OSU reported. They have not followed the typical pattern of a major shock followed by a series of diminishing aftershocks, and few have been strong enough to be felt on shore.

Is it just me, or does that sound like the lead-in to a really bad 1950's science-fiction movie? :wtf:

Looks like it's time to dust off the 'ol AK-47 and head to the hills
I don't do much modding on the scoot anymore, just riding :-)
