Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.<\/p>\n Subsequent quakes have been reported in the same area. Such temblors are typically aftershocks caused by minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.<\/p>\n Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.<\/p>\n Source: United States Geological Survey | Notes: Shaking categories are based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Pacific time. Shake data is as of Monday, April 13 at 10:29 p.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Tuesday, April 14 at 12:44 a.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Note: Map shows the area with a shake intensity of 3 or greater, which U.S.G.S. defines as \u201cweak,\u201d though the earthquake may be felt outside the areas shown. \u00a0All times on the map are Pacific time.
