After about 20 aftershocks in the first 18 hours or so--three of them between 4.0 and 4.2-- they ended for awhile at about noon Sunday--until a 4.1 around 10:30 pm. These reportedly have people pretty rattled where they're felt, but again, we're feeling nothing here in Arcata. Our resident HSU earthquake expert, Lori Dengler, told the Times-Standard that there is a 78% chance of a strong aftershock of magnitude 5 or greater within a week.
Dengler also said that the quake had a side-to-side motion, which doesn't result in tsunami.
The T-S story said the maximum shaking was felt in Eureka. There's damage in the millions, still being assessed, and one serious injury reported so far.
Six Months That Shake The Republic

It's coming up on six months since the reign of Chaos began. Six months!
Only three and a half years to go, if we even get there.
Things weren't go...
