Still OK. Still not the last earthquake post.

I was at friends' for supper tonight when they started getting Skype pings from their home country - the news of the latest aftershock had broken. (My friends' apartment had enormous cracks and chunks missing in their walls, apparently like many in their complex.) Today's aftershock was entirely the doing of my roommate, who was on the phone with her family at the time and who had just chirped to her parents that the seismic activity had ceased and that life was very boring. Today's aftershock was 5.5-6.4 depending on which article you read, but definitely was strong enough to feel and sent people out to the streets. The epicentre was quite a ways away from the city though.
