USGS shows quakes and aftershocks every few minutes, it’s like the whole area is constantly shaking.

I imagine it will be like that for a couple weeks even....two powerful earthquakes like that will surely create a multitude of aftershocks....

I read even Greenland felt it.

I had a very long very busy yesterday, so the first I heard of this earthquake / earthquake was on the 10 pm TV news. They showed several vids of building collapses occurring during daylight, so I assume these were during aftershocks. I've never seen more than one such collapse in a news report so soon after the event, and this is several. I can imagine thousands of collapses.

I see fatalities are over 5000 now & can easily imagine many more could be found.

The damage zone looks considerably smaller than if such a quake was to let loose on the New Madrid Fault, so, that's something to consider for us in the future, even though our construction is generally better...

The situation after the New Madrid quakes was said to be similar. Earthquake storms are a real thing... :-(
