Don,
You might want to check out the PNSN catalog at:
http://www.geophys.washington.edu/SEIS/PNSN/CATALOG_SEARCH/cat.search.html
Remember to cut the lower magnitude limit to -1 and expand the lat/lon
range to include your area (to 135W) and to search from 5-1-01 through today.
They are recording an event near your predicted epicenter for
today with Ml 1.7. However, recall from prior postings
that magnitudes for events out at sea from PNSN are about 1.2 units too low
in this catalog and the network pulls the epicenters between 30-50 km towards shore
from true epicenters.
The epicenter given there is:
May 17 2001 09:01:06 44.3N 127.2W Ml 1.7
However given the problems with this network, the
actual parameters are more like:
May 17 2001 09:01:06 44.4N 127.8W Ml 2.9 +/- 0.5

Your prediction was:
Magnitude: 2.5 to 3.5
From: 05/15/2001 PST - To: 05/19/2001 PST
Location: Off Coast of Oregon
Lat: 44.6N - Long: 128.0W - Range: 16Km

Comparing, I think congratulations are in order - quality on this is "A"

Sorry Petra, looks like you'll just have to get a bigger doorway.
