Both Reuters and CNN say it was a 7.0, confirmed by
the Univ. of Washington and the USGS in Golden
Colorado.  They say it was felt from Alaska down thru
Portland Oregon and as far east as Salt Lake City, Ut.
 The epicenter was 11 miles northeast of Olympia and
30 miles southwest of Seattle.  Damage reports have
come from Seattle and Vancouver, BC.

Let us all have a moment of prayer for all our friends
and family in that area and hope that all that was
shook-up was their nerves.
