I asked on a different thread . . .

FULL WELL REALIZING THESE QUAKES WERE MODERATE AND NOT OF ANY IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE . . . .

DOES ANYONE HEREON--DID ANYONE HEREON LOOK AT THE COLOR MAPS AT USGS AND ****FEEL ANY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED ANYTHING IN THEIR SPIRIT, INTUITION ABOUT *THIS* SERIES OF OREGON COAST QUAKES VIS A VIS BUILDING UP TO SOMETHING MORE DISASTEROUS????***

I have looked at 100's of such maps in the last 5 years and have felt usually nothing much at all. Not the case when I viewed the maps on these quakes off Oregon. I'M MERELY CURIOUS IF ANYONE ELSE has had a similar experience.

No, these are small quakes. They relieve a little built-up stress on a small plate. Some time there will be a big one in the region. The big one will follow a period of little activity; a large section of a long fault will let go all at once. Since the portion of the major fault near Alaska let go some years back, the next major release will be somewhere else, and it will be somewhere on the West Coast. Sooner or later.
