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.

I know that it isn't unusual for there to be a series of aftershock but to be able to feel that many in that short of a time is pretty intense. I was born and raised in SoCal, move to Central Cal in 80, so I have felt many in my day.
During the Sylmar quake in 69 my Dad worked for LA County Flood Control. He didn't come home for 3 days. They had to check every dam, flood control channel, and waterway in the LA basin.
