Continuous aftershocks in Sichuan
The earth in Sichuan does not come to rest. Yesterday our friend Yang Y. reported from Chengdu: “30 minutes ago we had an aftershock of grade 6.1 in Pingwu/Mianyang. Over here in Chengdu we could feel a strong shaking which caused fear. Since May 12th we already had more than 20000 aftershocks.”
The magnitude of the current earthquakes in Sichuan is often between 4 and 6.
One place where they are documented is here in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2008_Sichuan_earthquake_aftershocks
It will probably need quite a long time, until Sichuan comes back to normal and until humans can live in peace with nature again.
