They are saying that the quakes are tectonic, that they are merely the plates adjusting, so no cause for alarm. But I live in Florida, so I don't really have any meaningful input except the link to the story.

5. last year

the USGS installed CO2 monitors around Mt. Hood because of increased seismic activity.

However, I can find nothing unusual happening right now.

I wonder what the europeans are reporting?
