     The U.S. west coast's seismic activity is dramatically increasing and scientists are concerned about what this could mean for the west coast, after Japan suffered several more 6.5 quakes today.

     It was a 6.5 quake which took out Christ's Church. 
     
     Five earthquakes were reported in Washington alone yesterday.  Oregon had a 2.0.  Just days before, Everett Washington residents, were hit with a quake strong enough to cause cracks in the earth, one house was reported to be shifted sideways,  as you can see from the photo in my previous blog.
