Did the Earth move for you?

When was the last rattle in that region? Weren't there a couple prior to St. Helens' blow?

Network director John Vidale said the quake was from the same general source as the 6.8 magnitude Nisqually earthquake on Feb. 28, 2001.

That quake, under the Nisqually River delta between Tacoma and Olympia, was the largest quake to shake the area in more than a half-century. It disrupted operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and damaged the Capitol in Olympia and buildings and the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle.

Vidale said such quakes are not the type of "megathrust" quake that would catastrophic damage on the West Coast. A megathrust quake would involve the breaking of a tectonic plate - a piece of the earth's outer shell - and would have a magnitude of about 9, he said. The last one happened in the Northwest in 1700
