The Seismology of the Great Quake: Aftershocks for Another 5 Months.

The seismology of the earthquake in Nepal is terrifying: http://www.wired.com/2015/05/satellite-data-tells-us-nepals-brutal-quake/

Another quake/aftershock was reported today by a seismolologist: “An earthquake with magnitude 5.0 occurred near Pokhara, Nepal at 05:35:46.30 UTC on May 2, 2015.” (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.)

“Aftershocks above a 5.0 magnitude are expected to occur for at least another five months, which could disrupt relief efforts and threaten villagers who reside in the path of potential avalanches. . . .Areas immediately south of the fault line, like Kathmandu, sank more than a meter into the ground as a result of the quake. Directly north of the fault slip, further into the Himalayas, the ground was lifted up by about a half meter, indicated by the yellow in the first map in the gallery above.
