Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast

[pahoated]

This is an interesting graphic of the Ring of Fire. It shows the most recent earthquakes over 7 and there is a clockwise direction in them, with the recent northern British Columbia quake as another data point.

This (older) graphic shows some more, pointing out with all of this activity, the Juan de Fuca plate running down the US west coast hasn't had a major quake in 50 years. Could be good, could be a lot of pressure building up.
