Earthquake swarm a few miles off Oregon Coast
COOS BAY, Ore. - A swarm of 7 small earthquakes rattled the ocean floor less than 20 miles off Gold Beach on the Oregon Coast Tuesday.
The quakes ranged in strength from 2.1 to 3.0 on the Richter scale and were far enough off shore that coast residents wouldn't feel the shaking, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Seismologists also told KCBY News in Coos Bay the activity - which comes after a week with almost one small earthquake per day - is not a sign that the "Big One" is coming.
Researchers at Oregon State University on Wednesday announced findings, however, that the Coos Bay area faces a risk of a megaquake in the next 50 years.
Grew up in southern California. When it hits you take the nearest shelter. Hallway, door way, whatever. In a big long one you run outside. Even though they say that is the wrong thing to do. Usually by the time you realize whats happening it is over. In the Big Bear quake me and my wife had time to grab the kids and get outside. Just like all the other neighbors did.
Yeah... we have a plan, we plan to run like hell... we plan to survive the shake and pick up the pieces and start over... what else can you do?
Here it comes!!!!
