4.0 activity off the coast? Normal?

Postby stv_cg » Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:14 am

I have been watching west coast earth quakes over the past 3-4 weeks and I have noticed a bunch of 4.0 activity off the coast of Oregon... Is this pretty normal? :?:

I think I usually see smaller ones like 1.0's etc... but I am not sure I have seen so many 3 - 4.0s

I hope when it happens it pushes up a rock reef that helps to create a right hand point.
