Shock and Roll is Here to Stay?

After that 5.4 quake east of LA on Tuesday, I watched CNN for an hour as they tried desperately to find something worthy of "Breaking News". If you want to see some scientific data for the quake area, here's excerpts from the US Geological Survey and Caltech.

Probability of an aftershock in the next 7 days (from July 29):

• Strong Aftershocks (Magnitude 5 +) 30%
• Earthquakes larger than the mainshock - approx 5-10%
• Weak aftershocks (Magnitude 3-5) - approx 12 to 40 quakes
