3.6 - Did You feel it last night? 5 miles Northwest of Brooks, Oregon at 11:20 PM:

Yes. Was looking at "The Worst Album Covers Of All Time" website and felt(and saw) the audio console and monitors shake. I just thought somebody had slammed our garage door shut or something.(My location is approx. 25km SW of McMinnville.)

Here is the earthquake from the USGS Earthquake site;

Plug these coordinates into Google Earth and it will "fly" right to the epicenter. It's right on the bank of the Willamette River North of Windsor Island and South of Grand Island.

45.099°N, 123.030°W

Hope it doesn't drain the river!

If you don't have Google Earth, it's here: http://earth.google.com/

It's a cool program and it's free. Even the free version has high resolution pictures that are good enough that I can tell which vehicles are parked in my driveway!

4.8 off the Oregon Coast:

I was waiting in line 3 miles East of Otis (yes, Otis) on hwy 20 for the Sheriff to clear off a fatal accident. Didn't feel anything (I was listening to Kraftwerk, so that might have been it).


(Oh, apparently an idiot rear ended a line of cars waiting for a flagger. Looks like he was the only fatality).

You sure you weren't on Highway 18?

Yes, I was!

is that why my power was off yesterday morning?
:-)

Nope, you were late with your PGE payment.

are you talking about this one:

this is one of my favorite 'lists'. I think it's beyond hilarious.

Yes, that was one of them. There is also a web site with horrid cover art from all genre of recorded music.(nearly 150 examples with some of the absolute worst cover art of all time. A lot of them seem to be from German metal bands, ranging from "WTF?" to absolutely disgusting--maybe even illegal--for example: the horrible Scorpions "Virgin Killer" cover...Ewwww...What the hell were they thinking!? Some of the funniest ones are the independent gospel groups of the 70's. Ultra cheesy! Plaid and stripes just don't go together...) I can't remember where I found the site, though.

BTW, just to keep this thread on track, I didn't feel Tuesday's 4.8 quake. I was at Big Lots in Salem at the time.

Here's a Quake!

Quotes from Quake's nemesis:

Arch Enemy: Quake, the guy who makes that earthquake powered cereal. He drives me nuts.

The most influential person in my life was: Quake. He always keeps me on my toes, all six of them.

When was the Quisp vs. Quake election?
1972

I always preferred Qwisp over Quake.

Then get OFF this Quake thread!!!!!!

I thought they tasted the same. Quisp, however, is still available. Quake trembled and croaked.

Hey wait just a minute! Quake Rules, Here!
