there were many shakes, lasting up to a minute in some, but they kept on having after shocks, each one was tetonic plates moving against or along each other, so it was kind of jerking along, then starts, then stops then a while later it would start again. the time from the first one to the last was about an hour-ish, could have been less, could have been more. the first one was at 5.04 and 15 seconds pm during the World Series, then they kept on having them.
