portland quake

A small earthquake was felt in much of the Portland metropolitan area Saturday. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake at 6:49 a.m. measured a 2.7 magnitude and was centered within the city, very close to downtown. The quake was about 9 miles deep. There were no reports of damage or injury. "It was quite well felt," Univ. of Wash. seismologist Bill Steele told KGW, "although the duration of the shaking was quite short. It was really a snap that people felt."
