What is an "unusual" number of earthquakes?
Chile is in an area of very frequent earthquakes. The strongest earthquake ever recorded occurred there in 1960.
Japan has very frequent and strong earthquakes.
Haiti lies on an active fault and the earthquake did not surprise geologists.

If anything is "unusual" it is the human propensity to rebuild in regions that are known to be dangerous.
