Hi All,

Here's the news report on the most recent quakes from today's issue of the Seattle Times:

Spokane quake rattles the region

SPOKANE — A magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled Spokane yesterday morning, followed by a series of aftershocks, one registering a magnitude of 3.1.

There were no early reports of damage or injuries, but calls by concerned citizens to Spokane-area radio stations indicated the initial 8 a.m. temblor was widely felt.

Initial reports described a 3.8-magnitude quake centered 13 miles east-northeast of Spokane, but researchers interpreting signals from a network of seismic monitoring devices later said it was a 4.0 quake just 1.2 miles north of the city. The initially reported depth of about 8.8 miles was revised to 2.8 miles.

More than 40 small quakes have been felt in the Spokane area since a magnitude 3.4 quake June 25 signaled the apparent awakening of an ancient fault line.
