Quaking, but not shaking: Small quake hit Medford area Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 24, 2016 at 3:12 PM Updated Feb 24, 2016 at 4:31 PM Posted Feb. 24, 2016 at 3:12 PM Updated Feb 24, 2016 at 4:31 PM » Social News Local report If you blinked, you probably missed it. In fact, even if you didn't blink, you probably missed the 2.1 magnitude earthquake that was reported Tuesday evening 3 miles north of Medford by the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS categorized the quake, which occurred at 5:26 p.m. Tuesday, as an "explosion" because of its quick nature. No need to head for an earthquake shelter: Quakes of 2.5 magnitude or less are common occurrences, with about a half-dozen in Oregon in the past week alone, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. A 1.3 magnitude quake hit Feb. 9 in the same general area near Medford, and 11 quakes of 2.5 magnitude or less have hit the Medford area in the past year. The USGS says quakes of less than 3.0 magnitude are rarely felt by inhabitants of the area where the quake occurred.
