Alex, you probably know this already, but aftershocks are earthquakes. An aftershock is no less an earthquake than a primary quake and often does as much damage. The seismic waves from the primary earthquake in the 1994 Northridge earthquake triggered a devastating earthquake 15 miles South and East of the epicenter on a fault line no one knew existed prior to that day. Yet because it followed the first quake, it was labeled an aftershock.

Stay safe and stay away from tall buildings and power lines as much as you possibly can for the next several days.

Yes, of course, but these are barely noticeable. One would have to be sitting still, as I am, to even notice them.
