Posted Sharon, I certainly hope the USGS is going to alert the people in the affected area.

Hi Sharon,

An earthquake only affects us humans, and the structures we build.  I do not think they need to evacuate anyone very far...just have designated areas in parks, parking lots, aqueducts or whatever away from structures that will cause injury or loss of life.  I certainly hope local authorities already had this plan in place, if not, they need to plan for this right now.

This is how it should work...a siren goes off, cell phones ring, email alerts, tv broadcast or whatever,  and everyone goes to a preplanned location.    Like a tornado drill in schools...and practice this alert several times a year.

I do not know what sort of plan San Francisco and Los Angeles have, but I'm sure it's something similar to what I have just mentioned.  And if they don't, I guess they need to hire me...and do not come cheep :)

Anyone can survive any magnitude quake if they are not surrounded by manmade objects...just sit down.

Thank you Leslie, for clearing up the slow update in Washington. Now it makes sense. You're right that machines tend to quit working when we aren't looking, and it figures, just like Murphy's law.

Subject: Pinpoint-News-- Re: Mt Rainier

This is not the first time I've seen the maps at pnsn.org site (Pac NW Seismic Network) fail to update over the weekend...I think it started when St Helens kicked back into gear and the seismograms were getting flooded with little EQs - they started some kind of  human filtering and they're still doing it. Unfortunately, humans tend to take weekends off, unlike computers. In my experience, tho, network servers also seem to like to quit working on weekends, when their humans are away... which is the other possibility for the errant map.

from Seattle Times:

Quake near Mount Rainier registers 4.5; no damage reports

A light to moderate earthquake was widely felt in Western Washington about 7:45 p.m. Saturday. Police in Pierce, Snohomish and Pierce counties had no reports of injuries or damage.

The magnitude-4.5 quake was centered 17 miles north of Packwood, Lewis County, or about eight miles east of the Mount Rainier summit, said Tom Yelin, a geophysicist at the University of Washington seismology laboratory

Yelin said the quake's size was relatively uncommon for Western Washington and that the quake was about 2 miles deep. He said it probably was not related to volcanic activity on Mount Rainier.

There were two small aftershocks late Saturday, and Yelin said small aftershocks could continue for a few days but likely would not be felt.

Tectonic Summary

EARTHQUAKES IN THE EASTERN TENNESSEE SEISMIC ZONE

The Eastern Tennessee seismic zone extends across Tennessee and northwestern Lucida Grande into northeastern Alabama. It is one of the most active earthquake areas in the Southeast. Although the zone is not known to have had a large earthquake, a few earthquakes in the zone have caused slight damage. The largest known (magnitude 4.6) occurred on April 29, 2003, near Fort Payne, Alabama. Earthquakes too small to cause damage are felt about once a year. Earthquakes too small to be felt are abundant in the seismic zone, and seismographs have recorded hundreds of them in recent decades.

Earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S., although less frequent than in the western U.S., are typically felt over a much broader region. East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area as much as ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast. A magnitude 4.0 eastern U.S. earthquake typically can be felt at many places as far as 100 km (60 mi) from where it occurred, and it infrequently causes damage near its source. A magnitude 5.5 eastern U.S. earthquake usually can be felt as far as 500 km (300 mi) from where it occurred, and sometimes causes damage as far away as 40 km (25 mi).

FAULTS
Earthquakes everywhere occur on faults within bedrock, usually miles deep. Most of eastern Tennessee's bedrock originated several hundred million years ago, as the Appalachian Mountains were formed.

At well-studied plate boundaries like the San Andreas fault system in California, often scientists can determine the name of the specific fault that is responsible for an earthquake. In contrast, east of the Rocky Mountains this is rarely the case. The Eastern Tennessee seismic zone is far from the nearest plate boundaries, which are in the center of the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea. The Eastern Tennessee seismic zone is laced with known faults but numerous smaller or deeply buried faults remain undetected. Even the known faults are poorly located at earthquake depths. Accordingly, few, if any, earthquakes in the Eastern Tennessee seismic zone can be linked to named faults. It is difficult to determine if a known fault is still active and could slip and cause an earthquake. As in most other areas east of the Rockies, the best guide to earthquake hazards in the seismic zone is the earthquakes themselves.

Brian,

a 4.5 hit No of SF this PM.

Any relation to something else coming?

Thanks much.

Thanks Sharon, posted.

Found it on two diff. earthquakes at the same area.   I'm sure that it's a very important to figure this out.   Will contact you for more update, Eric L.
