Did anyone remember that this is the anniversary for the Colinga quake in 83 or 84. Wow, six in about an hour that is a lot.

Nothing in Fresno. We felt the Northridge quake series all the way up here. It rippled up the backbone of the Sierras. It shook here so hard that it woke us up.

This isn't a lot for an aftershock series. Aftershocks occur at a more or less constant rate, but the intensity drops off rapidly. It seems like a lot of shocks, but that's because the intensity hasn't dropped down yet. As they get less intense, the big ones are farther and farther apart. This makes it seem as though there are less shocks, but the little ones are still going off at the same rate.
