The USGS data earlier stated that the magnitude was 8.
As sesmologists review the available data, they can modify the magnitude reported by the earthquake. Additional information collected about the earthquake can also motivate USGS scientists to update the shake-seriousness map.
Affeterox in the area
An afterchock is usually a small earthquake that is a large in the same normal area. Affections usually have minor adjustments with part of a mistake that slipped during the early earthquake.

When afterchock data is available, the respective maps and charts include 100 miles and earthquakes within seven days of the initial earthquake. Above all time is Atlantic time. The shake data is in the form of Atlantic time on Saturday, 8 February at 7:42 pm. The afterchox data is in the form of Atlantic time on Sunday, 9 February at 1:54 pm.
