I think they have been saying "imminent" for at least a year. Then again, on the scale of geology that basically could be "any second".

From the post:

>A major earthquake rattled the Oregon Coast near a highly active Pacific Northwest volcano, which experts say could erupt at any moment. The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded a magnitude 4.2 earthquake less than 185 miles from Oregon's coastal town of Barview at 3.38am ET on Wednesday morning. However, the quake's epicenter was also roughly 200 miles from the Axial Seamount, a volcano that last erupted in 2015 and has been building towards another massive explosion this year. Wednesday's earthquake was the third major seismic event in the area in two weeks. However, researcher and geophysics expert Bill Chadwick from Oregon State University said this tremor won't be the tipping point that sets off the volcano.

This gives more confirmation to the people saying earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can be triggered by solar storms, given that we have been on the receiving end of one since yesterday.

I'm sure it's the white mans fault...

4.2, 185 miles off shore? You wouldn't feel that. Maybe I'm fucked from growing up in Cali but you never feel anything below a 5. You don't get out of bed for less than a 6.

I'd be more worried about Mt Hood, Reiner, or St Helens blowing than I would about a minor sway in the ground

Can confirm. If it shakes for more than a few seconds, maybe find a doorway. Otherwise, all good.

I worked out there for a bit. Apparently there were dozens if not hundreds of sub 5's and I never noticed. I am not from a area that has that much activity. If even a "small" one hit near me I would notice it.
