Yikes

I was playing WoW this morning when the barracks shook quite vigorously for a few seconds. While it's the third earthquake I've been in, this was the first one that was energetic enough to make me glad I was sitting down for it. Here's the AP News story.

1 This site http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php shows there have been some aftershocks.  Have you felt any?

No, I've not felt any aftershocks. But the biggest aftershock I saw (glancing at that page) was 5.2 and the original was 6.8.

log(6.8)-log(5.2)=.11. So the aftershock was only 11% as powerful as the original, and that's probably below my threshold of detection.
