I haven't felt most of the earthquakes we've had in the past few weeks but I felt the jolt we got last friday (which was based in the harbour) and I felt that one too.

My theory is that little earthquakes are good because they release pressue on the faultlines and prevent us from having a big one.  Please don't correct me if I'm wrong, I'd prefer to live in ignorance.

Thats right MrsMojo. I remember when I was studying geography at school our teacher used to say the exact same thing.
