Excerpt:

The quake is by far the largest that has hit the Pacific Northwest recently. The quake was located at a depth of about 7 miles and about 200 miles from the Oregon coast. As far away as it was, residents from Eugene to Lincoln City felt shaking, according to the USGS. There was no tsunami threat, according to the National Tsunami Warning Center. The quake comes during an important seismic moment for the Pacific Northwest. The "slow-slip" tremor event is happening beneath Puget Sound this month, which seismologists think might slightly increase the risk of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.

It is scary you just never know when the big one will hit. Here are a couple of really good videos on the Cascadia Subduction zone if anyone is interested. They are very informative.

I found something interesting when looking at news about the 6.3 today. They said over the last 10 days there had been some slipping of the Cascadia tectonic plate. But he fault the quake was on today was not the cascadia. Here is a link, the part of the story I am talking about here is at the end. Definitely something to keep our eye on. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oregon-...ed-2019-08-29/
