Individual Event Report
| Event #122 - Summary, and parameter estimates with source IDs |
| Information on this event is lacking - even the month is uncertain. It may be a description of the 1872 North Cascades earthquake. Rasmussen references the Washington Standard, but we were not able to find the article. The Oregonian article of Jan. 17, 1874 (a date cited by some authors for this event) reads: "The other day the Yakima county had a lively earthquake. Persons were shaken almost out of their beds, the earth in many places was torn up, and fissures opened. Stock ran wildly about, and the inhabitants in that section of the county were considerably frightened." |
