Seems we just had a little trembler here in Portland, just enough of an earthquake to bump my seat &
rattle the dishes for a few seconds. Just a few minutes ago. Anyone here still enough at the time to feel it too?

*edit*- Sure enough... just checked: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/45.47.-123.-121.php

 Looks like about a 3.3, preliminary. Interesting little jolts, 2 of 'em very close together. Mt. St. Helens

Am certainly no expert, but that looks rather harmonic in nature. Not but 3 miles down too, a shallow one relatively speaking.

Must be earthquake day, since midwest Germany also had a few slight shakes this noon.

The reports now indicate a 4.3 magnitude & only 2 miles below the surface. Strong enough
to be felt south as far as Salem, evidently, & a wide area surrounding the volcano.
