DOUBLE EARTHQUAKES

Double earthquakes: 5.9 off the coast of Oregon and 6.0 strikes near Bali, Indonesia

October 13, 2011 – OREGON – Full Moon Quakes: A strong 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Oregon along the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate and shallow magma plume at a depth of 10 km. Just this year, geologists discovered that a massive underwater volcanic eruption had occurred off the coast of Oregon sometime in late 2010. The epicenter of today’s earthquake was 233 km (144 miles) W of Coos Bay, Oregon and 365 km (226 miles) WSW of Salem, Oregon. The Juan de Fuca plate is part of the troubled Cascadian Fault system which extends up the northwest coastline of the U.S. and Canada. Geologists have said the region is long overdue for a major earthquake in the 9.0 magnitude range. Today’s strong earthquake should come as a wake-up call to the growing dangers of Earth’s heightened seismic activity and rising pressures at its magmatic hotspots like the Canary Islands, Etna and Iceland. The Oregon quake was preceded by a 6.0 magnitude offshore earthquake that struck near Bali, Indonesia- another country of growing seismic and volcanic unrest. Indonesia currently has 6 volcanoes on very high alert. –The

Joan, I saw the quakes last night on USGS right after they happened and they were 6.0 and 5.9

I saw your post this morning and looked again and they did downgrade and also put a quake in between the 6.0 and 5.9

This was not was not what they posted last night right after the 2 quakes happened

It is disgusting that they lie and delete the truth of what is truely happening
