Magnitude 3.0 earthquake 2 1/2 miles SE of Rose Lodge

February 22, 2019

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a magnitude 3.0 earthquake 2 1/2 miles southeast of Rose Lodge at 11:04 a.m. this morning.

The earthquake was felt as far east as Salem and Toledo to the south. Siletz and Lincoln City also reported feeling the quake.

“There is no chance for a tsunami with a 3.0 magnitude earthquake,” USGS Geophysicist Julie Dutton said. “This was a pretty minor earthquake felt by people in the area but it’s nothing to worry about.”

I saw and felt sizmic activity at 6:37 this evening, about 3 miles south of rose lodge on the salmon river.aproximit 3 miles north of lincolin city OREGON. The movement of the bed rock,beneath north Bank road,caused tremors in the water,waves 8-12 inches. The waves came ashore at least 2 feet from where the normal water line was. Like a motorboat just blasted by. There are no boats in this area. Lincolin city or.
