The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) has reported small tremors inland over the past few days.

PNSN recorded a magnitude 1.8 earthquake in Warren, District of Columbia, and a magnitude 2.0 earthquake at Rose Lodge in Lincoln County on Tuesday, May 18th. In the south of Willamette Valley.

A swarm of small undersea earthquakes have been recorded over the past several weeks west of Kos Bay, Bandon, Port Offord and Newport. The tremors occurred in an area that geologists from the Oregon State Office of Emergency Management said was vulnerable to such events.

OEM Geological Hazards Program Coordinator Althea Rizzo said in previous interviews that the region experiences many earthquakes annually.

“They are very far from the coast and do not have any impact, except for just reminding us that earthquakes can happen at any time,” she said.

While those undersea earthquakes are not expected to trigger any significant events, geologists have said there is evidence of a massive earthquake in the subduction zone off the coast from northern California to British Columbia, with a similar magnitude to that which struck Indonesia in 2004. And Japan in 2011.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a 600-mile long fault that stretches from northern California to British Columbia and is located about 70-100 miles off the coast of the Pacific Coast.

According to OEM, there have been 41 earthquakes in the last 10,000 years within this rift that occurred 190 years, or nearly 1,200 years ago. The last earthquake that occurred in this fault was on January 26, 1700, and had a magnitude of 9.0. This earthquake caused the coast to fall several feet, formed a tsunami and shattered the ground.

What’s even more surprising is that the evidence for this great earthquake also came from Japan, says the OEM on its website. Japanese historical records indicate that a devastating remote tsunami struck their coast on January 26, 1700.

By studying geological records and the flow of the Pacific Ocean, scientists were able to link the tsunami in Japan to the Great Earthquake from the Pacific Northwest. Native American mythology also supports the timing of this latter event.

Emergency managers in Rizzo and counties across the state encourage residents and visitors to prepare to be alone for at least two weeks after a major earthquake.
