OH NO! Japan is getting another quake/tsunami!


Recommended Posts

So this isn't actually a NEW earthquake - it's an "aftershock" from the other one? (according to that article) I don't know much about how earthquakes work, but I thought aftershocks happened the same day or maybe the next… not almost a month later!

 

Those poor people. :grouphug:

 

Dh is from CA so he's familiar with earthquakes and was sad at the news but not surprised. :crying:

Yes, aftershocks can happen for months and months after a major earthquake.

 

However, it's all just semantics. Being an aftershock doesn't make it any less serious than if it were the initial quake.

 

They're calling February's earthquake in NZ an aftershock of the one in September.
