This is now several and you could say around the Pacific, although where we had been watching, not exactly expecting this region to begin shaking quite yet!!!  Offshore Oregon, Northern California:

3.4  Off the coast of Oregon 2021-02-21 04:29:05

This edition going to press a little early due to "BOOSTER" Shot tomorrow-Tuesday!!!  And so a new edition of "Earthquake Minute" coming here too and a huge alert to keep watching around the Pacific, although warmer temperatures could mean some or lot of our snow. . . and possibly less concern about "Weight on the Tectonic Plate" but until I make such an announcement from conditions, let the big alert continue!!!!!  New Zealand, and Alaska especially (With New Zealand shaking late Monday as I'm writing this) and ongoing alert for California and West Coast!!!
