1. 6.8 in itself is a bad earthquake.

2. Holy shit.

3. This is not really that unusual, not is it unexpected

Especially when considering where it occurred. It was very close to the intersection of two tectonic plates.

4. Damn the last one on there is still a 6.8.

5. And the beat goes on.

The world is vibrating. And a truly massive quake like this one creates some big echoes.

6. Worse yet, can you imagine that 8.9 lasting for over a minute???

A minute!
An Eternity in earthquake time.

8. Um, the 8.9 might have been an aftershock itself...

The area became active with a 7.1 2 days ago.

9. Saw a guy being interviewed on CNN. Said it was hard to sleep there were so many aftershocks.
