Do you know if anyone has done or is able to do any optical spectroscopy 
on these lights?  It woulds seem to me to be the best way to get more 
evidence as to what is causing them.

Hi, the last sizable quake that I can remember was sometime in the '50s 
around 1958 or so.  I am not too sure of the year but I do remember my 
family talking about a quake that happened in the '50s and our house had 
a crack in the wall from it.  There were also several quakes caused by 
the eruption of Mount St. Helens.  Also, there was a quake in Southern 
OR about two years ago that measured something like 5.5 in magnitude.
Do you live in Portland?  I grew up there and really love the city.  I 
still have family there.
Hope this helped to answer your question.

This is so much fun, that I got a short blurb about it accepted in
comp.risks.  I can't wait for the California Earthquake Authority (a
plum patronage appointment, recently filled), to be located in Chicago!

Can someone explain - is the Richter scale logarithmic or..?
How is it based?
Thanks,
Ronald.

A good place to follow eqs in the pacific Northwest is as follows:

In an AP article about today's quake in southern Japan, the following
sentence appeared: "There was no danger of tsunami, or undersea waves, the
agency
said." Is "undersea waves" just careless writing, or an actual phenomenon?

VOLCANIC ERUPTION ON ICELAND: ERS-SAR-IMAGES
November 8, 1996
New ERS-1/2 SAR images and interferogram of the recent subglacial
eruption of Loki ridge, a subglacial volcano on Iceland, are now
available on the DFD homepage:=20
http://www.dfd.dlr.de/HOT-TOPICS/volcano/
These images show the newest eruption on Vatnaj=F6kull, Europe's
largest glacier, which started on October 1. and the subglacial
reservoir which is now filled with some km3 of meltwater. This huge
amount of water will cause a catastrophic flood.=20
This page is available both, in English and German language, and
will be updated as soon as new SAR data are processed and analyzed.

yes, Portland is on earthquake ground. It ranks among the top cities in
America for earthquake hazard and on top of this is extremely vulnerable
to volcanic disruptions. I suggest you do some searching on the net for
earthquake data, coastal Oregon sits very close to the Cascadia subduction
zone,  an area of great earthquake potential. I don't live in the area so
I don't know about insurance.
