Eighteen earthquakes have struck Tuesday off the Oregon coast, with the largest two reaching magnitude-5.8. The earthquakes hit far off the coast, roughly west of Newport. No tsunamis are expected.

Small earthquakes strike often near Oregon’s coast, a regular reminder of the cataclysmic earthquake geologists say will happen when the pressure building between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates breaks

Notice the source link, which refers to six earthquakes. A new quake appear to be happening every 30 minutes or so.

Meh....

Thanks for the post. I’ve been keeping an eye on this. This is the Cascadia Subduction Zone and it has been very active lately.

Also there has been some activity in the southern San Andreas Fault near Baja California.

Don’t know what this all means.

Anyone heard from dutchsinse lately?

[BenLurkin]

He may be rethinking some of his methodology. His last post to youtube was 11/17/2021 and things didn't develop in the manner which he forecast at that time.

[aimhigh]

Just had number 21.

[Cold Heart]

I haven’t seen numbers like this before. May have happened many years back but this is interesting.

Not the cascadia but part of the blanco transform system. Right lateral movement. Part of a greater spreading center that the San Andreas merges into.

I’m sorry I couldn’t pass this up....I guess I’m just an oldies lover.

Maybe the people in Oregon should buy rosaries and repent.

It is quite remarkable.

Makes me more of a believer than ever before.

Alec Baldwin?

I’m sitting in top of it. No big deal.

Realtime data from the OOI instruments at Axial Seamount, just in case :)

What did they say? That fault fractures and the coast will drop about 10 feet?

[gundog]

Which fault? It’s kind of a mixed bag, here. North of Coos Bsy, we have sand dunes where the sea floor was thrust upwards. South of Coos Bsy. I know of a couple of big cedar stumps that are submerged except on the lowest tides. They “sank“ in the 1700 quake, I believe.

It means that everything west of I5 is TOAST.
