A few days ago the island nation of Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. I was attending a training meeting at work, where we monitor earthquakes worldwide. During the meeting there were over a dozen aftershocks, all of them at, or over, 5.0 in magnitude.
Today I heard on the news, there's been over 40 aftershocks, 5.0 or higher.
Here's one of the initial news stories from the UK's Telegraph:
