OK earthquakes have been on the general decline since the price of natural gas tanked, but there is still some fight left. This was an oblique strike-slip, normal fault mechanism, which means it is one up on the 'Whimpy' scale. It also means that it is underrated, so that's why I am calling it an m5. An Intensity of 6 should mean at least one chimney down. This might be the last hurrah before the Spring.
