There was a 5 point quake today in Alaska.
It seems like it would be hard for a quake in the Gulf of California to cause a tsunami which would hit Oregon. Maybe the quake will cause waves that will bounce off the mainland coast south of Mazatlan, ricochet off Tahiti, and wind up heading straight for Southern Oregon.
