Earthquakes - Oregon
Today we had a mere 2.5 magnitude earthquake off of the coast of Oregon. Yesterday we had a 3.8, nothing like the 4.9 we had last Saturday, or the 6.9 Eastern Honshu, Japan experienced.

Big Earthquake In Alaska
I know Adak is a ways out there but still, it's a 6.6 with many sizeable aftershocks. It's been a few very busy months, and an especially few busy weeks for earthquakes on the west coast so far.
Earthquakes and Other Points of Interest
A 2.7 earthquake 19 miles directly west from Yachats, Oregon. Little, but frighteningly close.
Picked up from the Oregon SkyWatch site, BLM rejects Mt. St. Helens mine. It seems that with the high price of metals, companies are trying to start mines all over the place, even in national forests and parks. Kind of like how they already log there.
Our lands. Yeah right.
Another interesting factoid of news, albeit exceedingly creepy: Scientists Create First Memristor: Missing Fourth Electronic Element Circuit. According to those that know, this will enable computers to have MEMORY, to figure things out, make decisions, in essense to THINK.
Skynet has become ... self aware.

More Wyrd Weather
So far, it has hailed here in Coos Bay everyday for what seems a week. At least the last 4 days straight, and then some before that, broken by an occasional nice day. Yesterday: cold. Today, some sun but bits of icy wind and more cold.
Of note: a 5.2 earthquake in Northern California. Important because Northern California is connected to us (us as in, Oregonians). Connected to, and much like, Oregon. So much so infact, that we should just STEAL Northern California and call it SOUTHESTOFALL OREGON.
Anyway.
All of this bad weather and talk of earthquakes makes me ponder the many historical infrastructures of the Oregon Coast. Such as Newport's beautiful bridge shown in the above picture. Or any of the bridges. Or the roads. Of which there are not many that lead out of our little coastal towns. Coos Bay has been isolated many times during my life span so far. Didn't take much of a disaster either. Little flooding here, little landslide there. Easy shmeezy.

Earthquakes
Yesterday, a 3.1, 86 miles ESE from Portland. This morning, a 4.1, 131 miles directly west from Barview, which is between Coos Bay, (specifically Empire) and Charleston, Oregon.
April 24, 2008
Earthquakes
Two more earthquakes so far today, one is a 4.0. It seems to me that whenever Nevada starts having earthquakes, we are in the mix there somewhere. This one was about 100 miles directly west of me.
It doesnt hurt to review your survival preparedness list here folks.
Number 1, make sure there is some drinking water stashed, even if its just a bucket in the tub and a pitcher in the fridge. Couldn't hurt, right?

Summer Hits The Coast
A perfect, warm summer's day. In the middle of winter weather. Only it isn't summer, and it isn't winter. I blame it on the ever continuing earthquakes. We made the news! Hundreds of earthquakes off the Oregon coast, indicative of volcanic activity. Only there is no volcano. Or so they say. But there probably is molten lava movement. On the off shore fault. Whee?
April 08, 2008
Number Ten
Ok, so we actually skipped a day, (yesterday), but this is our tenth day of earthquake(s) in a row. There seems to be quite a bit of earthquake activity elsewhere in the world lately, with some in unusual places, like the one in Texas.

Oregon Earthquakes; Day Nine.
I'm kind of amazed here. Granted, it's only a 3.6, but STILL. NINE DAYS IN A ROW PEOPLE.
April 05, 2008
Oregon Earthquakes; Day Eight
It is the eight day in a row that Oregon has experienced an earthquake. This is the first one that actually happened IN Oregon and not out in the ocean.

Earthquake, Day 7
I've been watching the earthquake site for a few years now. I don't remember ever having this many earthquakes for this many days before.
April 03, 2008
Yet Another ... Earthquake
Actually we had two more earthquakes, a 4.0 and a 4.1. So that's like, 6 days in a row of earthquakes for Oregon. An earthquake every day with three of them on Tuesday, and two so far today. HMMMM!
