My Mood: ![]() SL Join Date: Early '06 or late '05, not sure. Client: Singularity, mostly. | A quake of this magnitude is probably a megathrust quake like the one in the Indian ocean in '04. There will almost certainly be large aftershocks. |

Business: ANOmations Client: Viewer 2 Blog Entries: 18 | There have actually been several in recent days - this is the worst so far. I'm not sure exactly how they determine which is the main quake, but sometimes aftershocks can be even worse. |
