As far as I know, it's not uncommon for earthquakes to happen in clusters. The pressure builds up until the lock breaks and the fault moves, until it hits another lock that stops it. The moving plates can load several weak locks on the fault to failure over a period of months, breaking them and causing earthquakes, until they eventually hit a lock that holds them for a decent period of time.

Of course, all this is irrelevant, because we all know the Japanese earthquake was God's punishment for not following the Ten Commandments:

Go to 00.35 to see earthquake and then just keep watching.

This was from inside a delivery van - the driver got out, but camera kept running, I'm not sure when he got out, but he survived.

Something of a sleepless night last night.

Hope you're well. Looks like they'll be going on for a while yet. Are the big ones diminishing in strength yet ?

Just catching the video posted in September and can't get the thought of those wee children at the start out of my head. Hope they got all through it but I'd fear for them not too mention the adults on the pavements.
