  • Yachats - Didn't last long, maybe 5-7 seconds. Only one mirror seemed to shake. It has a glass beer boot on it that shook and moved across the shelf that is under the mirror. I have felt stronger here, seems like this was the first shaking like this in couple years. Normally they start a little lighter and get more intense. This was just 5 seconds of sudden intensity. No dammage at all, and I highly doubt most people felt it. I seem to be a little more sensitive tothem
  • Corvallis, Oregon - I thought I felt (heard) a slight earthquake yesterday. I didn't feel it, but I heard the familiar sound. I actually stopped what I was doing and made ready to dash for the kerosene lamps and put them on the floor.
