Rash of mild temblors shake Oregon - Chico Enterprise Record

Rash of mild temblors shake Oregon - Chico Enterprise Record: "A swarm of earthquakes 125 miles off the Oregon coast, has scientists scratching their heads.

Since Monday, six quakes with magnitudes of 3.7 to 4.1, have rattled the sea floor at almost the exact same spot 126 miles west of Port Orford, Ore., according to the U. S. Geological Survey. The most recent temblors are only the tip of a seismic iceberg, according to Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center, in Newport."
