Got candles and flashlights out. This is not my first rodeo. Fortunately, it is out of the South so I am shielded by a large hillside in back of me. No waves crashing on the bulkhead this time.
The cluster of earthquakes off the Oregon coast seems to have quieted down a lot. Two today but that was it. Really hope that it was the Subduction Zone relieving some pent-up stress and not a precursor to the next (and overdue) big one.
