Quakes and Aftershocks

With January seeing its fair share of earthquakes rocking Puerto Rico and now a new series of tremors being reported in the Southwest United States, one has to wonder whether or not this will be a “shaky” year, as quakes in recent events tend to progress and do quite a bit of damage.

The most recent reported aftershock registered as a 2.8 magnitude quake 17 miles from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, affecting both the US and Mexico.
