Moderate quake hits Mexico after stronger tremor (Extra)

Mexico City - An earthquake measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale shook the state of Michoacan, in centre-western Mexico, only hours after the country was affected by a tremor measuring 6.3 and several follow-ups. The authorities said no injuries or serious damage were reported, although some buildings showed cracks. Mexico's National Meteorological Service (SMN) said the latest tremor had its epicentre 51 kilometres south of Coalcoman, on the Pacific coast. The earlier quake had its origin in the neighbouring state of Guerrero and was felt strongly in Mexico City and in the resort of Acapulco, among other places. It had 11 follow-up tremors measuring between 3.4 and 5.4 on the Richter scale, according to the SMN. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur

So this one is not an aftershock from the first one. There is definitely a patter to this recent series of quakes. I cannot get past the feeling that we are waiting for another very large shoe to drop.
