[Chat] Fwd: [northerncommunitycouncil] Worth noting

[Stephen J Gewirtz]

 From what I am reading, the largest earthquake centered when this one 
was centered was a 4.8 in 1875.   This one was a 5.9, i.e. about 12 
times as large (the Richter scale is logarithmic based on common i.e. 
base 10 logarithms, for anyone who wants to know how I made the 
calculation).  So I take seriously the advice that a bigger shock may 
occur later, although probably that will not happen.  Be prepared!
