Scary for all those folks even now

Im looking at the website from the link you provided. I had no idea just how frequently there are aftershocks. still hitting 6 on the scale too, so not just little 2's and 3's. guess the earth takes a lot of settling down after such a big shift

I keep using the word "scary" a lot but all of this really is isn't it...

No doubt all of us think that there might be 1 or 2 or several after shocks from something like this but if you look at the after shock count it's enormous from this one...

I posted further back the too where I counted more than 200 tremors for approx a day after the main biggy, so it is obviously settling if you can call 6 on the scale settled!
