The USGS is changing their data every 5 minutes.
It's hard to stay on top.

OMG

Now the USGS is calling the second one a 6.9

Im watching that real time earthquake map also now, if you take the last three EQ's, it seems to increase. :-/

I hope it's just a random EQ like always and no buildup or something.

Powerless, yet filled with knowledge....

MEXICO CITY — A strong earthquake has struck off the coast of Mexico, but there were no immediate reports of damages inland.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports a preliminary reading of 6.9 magnitude. It says the temblor was centered 82 miles (133 kilometers) northeast of Guerrero Negro, and hit some 6.4 miles (10.3 kilometers) below the surface.

It follows a 6.4 magnitude quake which struck a sparsely populated area in the mountains of western Mexico on Wednesday, and caused tall buildings to sway more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) away in Mexico City.

I thought after shocks were supposed to get smaller.

a forth (4.2) just hit the exact same area. Just saw it with the latest refreshing of the live map.
