The 4.0 magnitude earthquake hit areas around Oregon and Southern Washington at 01.24am GMT (5.24pm Wednesday local time).

The epicentre was located near Scotts Mills in Marion Country.

In 1993 a 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit a similar area and was known as the “Spring Break Quake”, according to Scott Burns, a geologist at Portland State University.

“It was 5.6, much bigger than this one. That was the one that brought attention to everyone in Oregon that this was earthquake country”.
