Great Shakeout

On 10-15 at 10:15am there is going to be a Washington state-wide earthquake drill. Most schools will participate and many coastal towns will hear tsunami alarms. 

How fitting it is, then, that early this morning a mini swarm of quakes hit the seattle area... Near Gig Harbor (24 miles away from Seattle). 

2.7 12am 
2.8 4:10am
2.16 5:07am

Ranging from 16 to 21 miles deep.

From what I've read, the odds of a big earthquake hitting here are greater in the first half of the year for whatever reason.
