I studying how this astrologist on coast to coast predict this last night O.o says one on the 16th too and a few more dates in october...didn't expect it'd be here...

Ok, this is freaky now...i made that post for the last earthquake thread..

Similar location and it was smaller in magnitude than Friday's. So that just makes it an aftershock.... no need to worry. Aftershocks are just the parts of the Earth's crust around the source of the earthquake adjusting to the shift in the tectonic plates that happened during the main earthquake. Or so it says on Wikipedia more or less.

Now if more earthquakes happen in a similar location and are larger in magnitude than Friday's, then I'll worry!

UWI Seismic Research Centre say on FB, "Following the magnitude 6.3 event on Friday night, 11th October, there was an aftershock within 2 hours, with magnitude 4.9. Today, 16th October, we recorded 4 aftershocks; the largest, with magnitude 3.9, was at 07:18 a.m. and was reported felt in Champs Fleurs. Thank you for keeping us informed of your felt observations."

Dem plates want to move.

That part of the fault should give a quake or two again, all below 5.0 on the scale and the take rest. Look for the seismic gap on the fault and keep a close eye there....
