another earthquake

Just a few minutes ago, we had another significant earthquake. That's four inside a few weeks. It seems that mother Earth has woken after many months (nearly two years) without too many noticeable quakes at all.
It's interesting how little it means to the locals. I can hear a jackhammer operating somewhere nearby. The operator didn't miss a beat. I've noticed motorists and cyclists just carrying on as if they don't even feel them (maybe they don't!). But as a foreigner they still strike me as being a big deal.
