USGS : "People should expect further shaking."

Posted by mara Aug 23 '11, 11:55

Mike Blanpied, USGS associate coordinator for earthquakes hazards program said: �We would certainly expect aftershocks, but it is unlikely that we�d have a larger earthquake. The aftershocks could be really any magnitude up to 5. Most likely the aftershocks will be up into the magnitude 4 range. So people should expect further shaking.�
