Hi Lowell,

No, its not DDU. But I did want to say when Don and I were researching the NW area we did find that after Olympia there was another large EQ in Canada, east of where today's epicenter was. So now we question is this the set up for a repeat performance?

The link below has a list of quakes since 9/29 and has 10 listings of micro earthquakes before todays event. Of course the solar factor brings up the mags. But as we have seen frequently in the past, the Canadians do list quakes at lower magnitudes than we in the US, so the now upgraded 5.8 may still move up the scale further.

But after having a look at the map, I do see that I am out of the 75 mile range of Bremerton for this event. Drat!
