A peculiar swarm of earthquakes have been occurring off of Oregon’s central coast, resembling those that happen just prior to a volcanic eruption. However, scientists are baffled as there are no volcanoes in the area.

There have been more than 600 quakes during the past 10 days in an area 150 miles southwest of Newport. The largest quake was a magnitude of 5.4, with two others measuring greater than magnitude 5.0, OSU reported.

Few of the quakes have been strong enough to be felt on land, and they have not shown the typical pattern of a major shock followed by a series of diminishing aftershocks.

They need to watch that. The Oregon and Washington coasts are extremely vulnerable to tsunami!

Could be the rumblings of a new rupture in a tectonic plate. After all, it  started with Rodenia, (probably), And isn't going to stop because we say so.
