This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.
That scary if you thing it hitting some place like Portland Oregon who still has the many of the old brick buildings much like the ones that were destroyed in the San Fran 1906 quake.
I am not certain about the window for Portland but I know from attending Marine Sci lectures at HMSC OSU that here on the Oregon Coast we are in the 200yr window for a huge quake based on soil studies here in the bay that shows a trend for a huge quake everey 300 to 500 yrs. It has been just over 300 yrs.
