Individual Event Report
| Event #232 - Summary, and parameter estimates with source IDs |
| Holden cites an unnamed newspaper which is the underlying source for this event: "The first time an earthquake has been felt in Ashland for years was last night about 8 o'clock, when a distinct shock, though light and lasting only a few seconds, caused a general rattling of window panes in many buildings in town. The shock was not heavy enough to cause even timid people any alarm." I question Berg and Baker's assignment of intensity IV to this event. The newspaper article was not found, but this event is listed in the index of the Portland Oregonian. |
