An earthquake geologist I was listening to today spoke of how these quakes have been circling a critical area that slipped with a major quake in the late 18th century. The pressures are actually building up there and not releasing from the '04 quake and tsunami. This could trigger a repeat of the '04 scenario with great loss of life and property, The fact that they have occurred so close together concerns him because it puts alot of stress on that area all at once.
They are watching it closely.
