It could be a foreshock or an aftershock. Sometimes aftershocks can be larger than the initial quake. Earthquakes be changing the rules and shit all the time

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
According to this in the past 12 hours there have been a double digit number of "mini" shocks or whatever you want to classify them as...
I'm not a big geologist that would deal with type of thing, but this info doesn't look good.

Alt-text:The USGS operates a really neat email/SMS earthquake notification service (earthquake.usgs.gov/ens/) that allows fine-grained control of notifications.
Oh snap... an early warning system!

Is that the Mega Quake Doppler 7 3D in HD?
That was a 5.0 or something if I recall correctly. That was my first earthquake, really trippy. I thought it was nearby construction or something before I clued in.

Yeah, it also never helps that for as long as I can recall always hearing about "THE BIG ONE" that's just around the corner, and shifting through that bullshit.

I don't know about this coroner who's hanging around earthquakes, but maybe he should tell us when it's actually coming
I thought God was doing NBAGAF a favor by getting rid of some Lakers fans, but then I saw that the quake was nothing level. Meh.

Fault systems such as those on the west coast are very complex, and because of that a lot of times one earthquake will transfer it's stress to another nearby fault or further down the same fault creating a chain of earthquakes related to the same stress regime. It doesn't necessarily mean something is building up or dissipating.
It's really too complex and too poorly understood to definitively say anything.
EDIT: Looking at the list though, most of those earthquakes would be almost impossible for a human to detect. A large truck driving by your house would shake the ground more. Those types of earthquakes are incredibly common and are probably related to the larger magnitude ones in the region.

That's a bit of a 'duh'. I AIM chatted with a friend in Maine after the East Coast earthquake whenever that was and quite a while later he felt it. That was p cool.

This can't be a coincidence. Zombie Nixon is clearly on the move.

Most of the Lakers team could die in a quake and the team would still have a better record than the Knicks.
When this is all that's left to say, you know shit is fucked.

Seriously. CA natives don't get out of bed for anything under a 6.0

Well, I'm flying home to SFV on Saturday. I've been gone for three months, so it would only make sense that it starts to build up to the "Big One" right before I go back.

Every earthquake thread is always the same.
"Did you guys feel the earthqua--..."
"LOL! LOL! That tiny thing! That was nothing! LOL LOL!"
And then it descends into a weird orgy of Californians.

Nothing unusual... I swear, I entered this thread thinking: "wow I can't believe... the Big One actually happened". Good thing it wasn't it.
