07/01/2009: "Hit By Another Quake. Good News?"

Another earthquake hit our region nine minutes after five Wednesday morning. The last one was between Orcas and San Juan, but this one was centered two miles east-south-east of Coupeville, and was a 3.7 quake.

The last one was a 2.3 quake that hit us June 25th; also in the early hours.

The one before that was a 4.5 quake in January of this year. One theory is that a number of small quakes may forestall one big one. But no one really knows.

What is known, is that Yvonne Swanberg on San Juan Island felt it at her house, and she has not seen her pet cat "Spike" since.
