[Alas Babylon!]

Aftershock. There’ll probably be more...

[RaceBannon]

a 5.2 AND a 5.3 in the last 10 minutes

[bigheadfred]

no where to run to no place to hide

[arderkrag]

Aftershocks, as others have noted. It’s normal.

[rdl6989]

Agreed, there will be significant aftershocks for weeks. They will taper off gradually.

RSOE

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well, maybe no place to hide ...

But Lima Peru beach’s all have “Tsunami Evacuation Routes” prominently displayed at every bridge and overpass going back to the heights ...

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

It’s called a after shock

[Fledermaus]

Can’t be techtonic plate movement. It’s that dang man made climate change!

[cripplecreek]

This is what happens when ya put Graboids on the endangered list and start protecting them.

[Loud Mime]

Volcano erupting there too.

[bigheadfred]

So do all of the routes in Oregon along 1.

[kingu]

Should be a few 7’s, dozens of 6’s, hundreds of 5’s, thousands of 4’s, tens of thousands of other measurable aftershocks from such an incident. (typical aftershock sequence.)

[RaceBannon]

I just counted 9 over 5.0 on that list!

[klgator]

Can’t be techtonic plate movement. It’s that dang man made climate change!

Nah. It's all that fracking./s
