Aftershock.. not exactly a big surprise.The Loma Prieto quake in '89 had 20 quakes over a 4.0 strength in the hours and days following the bigger one, including a 5.8.[Edited on January 20, 2010 at 9:25 AM. Reason : x]

someone in my office just said Haiti made a deal with the Devil to get the French to leave - and that's why they're getting shit on by Mother Nature

^ hahaha someone in your office is a moron
1/20/2010 9:33:02 AM
he said there was a pastor on The View who said these things, and he actually told me the story with this look in his eye that says "Yes, I believe every word I'm saying to you to be true and accurate."

Aftershocks can happen weeks after the initial quake, though they typically won't be as strong. There is NO way they had two completely separate quakes on the same fault-line one week apart. That is pretty much impossible.
1/20/2010 9:36:52 AM
duh, the Devil made the quakes happen cuz Haiti signed a deal with him to get the French out of the country. don't you read?

alright then that would be why both articles said aftershock and new earthquakebut it was still a "new" earthquake^^ but before he edited in one of his first post he said there was no way it was a NEW earthquakein othernews someone came in the office and told me NC was 200 years overdue for an earthquake[Edited on January 20, 2010 at 10:55 AM.

you people...an aftershock IS an earthquake... the place this earthquake happened was "destabilized" by the original quake, and the "aftershock" or "new earthquake" was a result of that.
1/20/2010 11:41:03 AM
Do you think that after the devil ruined Haiti his wife was like "See, this is why we can't have nice things!"?
1/20/2010 11:42:45 AM
yes
1/20/2010 11:43:42 AM
i wonder what type of building they will build to replace the ones torn down?i hear earthquake proof buildings are very affective, but i would just live in a tent for a long time
1/20/2010 11:50:34 AM
wow... some people are actually arguing over whether the aftershock was an earthquake or not? NO IT IS NOT FURNITURE, IT IS A CHAIR!!!
1/20/2010 11:52:31 AM
hey look a tsunami
1/20/2010 11:54:56 AM
BUT WHO WAS PHONE?
1/20/2010 11:55:22 AM
Next will be a black hole opening off the coast.
1/20/2010 11:58:07 AM
that would suck
1/20/2010 12:00:22 PM
my tsunami reference was meant to highlight just cause there is a wave in the ocean doesnt make it a tsunami, even if its after a tsunamisame with earthquakes and aftershocks, there is a qualification for earthquake and aftershockearthquake is defined as the initial seismic movement causing by significant tectonic displacementaftershock is just a realignment of tectonic plates in a new formationtechnically an aftershock is not an earthquake
1/20/2010 12:10:29 PM
Jesus dude, you are looking at it upside down.Tsunami is a SUBSET of Wave.Aftershock is a SUBSET of Earthquake.

here is what the geo major said:
1/20/2010 12:30:20 PM
Wow, so didn't mean to start a debate on this.My point was that people were acting like this is some crazy coincidence and TWO separate and completely unrelated events happened to Haiti, which is absurd...And there was a very small quake that was felt in Raleigh in 2004 or so that was centered in Virginia.http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2003/uscdbf/[Edited on January 20, 2010 at 12:40 PM.
