ANOTHER ONE?
Californian had another one this morning!

They're called "aftershocks" and the aftershocks to the 7.2 quake a few days ago will go on for YEARS.

Still mystified why people are surprised by this.

How do you KNOW they are after shocks?

Couldn't it be just a plausible that they are new earthquakes?

Unless you can see them, you really can't distinguish between the two - at least that is what I have been told.
