QUAKE WARNINGS DOWNGRADED - 13 QUAKES IN OUR AREA

Mr Deyo's warning for West Coast US has been downgraded.

There was a 4.6 magnitude quake off Oregon yesterday.

In the greater Indonesia/Nicobar/Papua area the warning period is now downgraded.
There were 13 quakes during the warning period in the 3 areas of concern that roughly can be described as West, Central and East Indonesia. None of the quakes exceeded 6.0 although 8 exceeded 5.0. None caused any damage. Clearly the warning was justified in this area.
