You are correct about the relative rarity of "big ones".  According to Richter magnitude scale, those in the range of 7.0 or greater would happen no more than 20 times a year.  On the other hand, quakes in the range of 4.0 to 4.9 occur 6,000 times a year.  Not surprisingly, it was mentioned on the news that day and the day after, but there's no indication that this was considered notable enough to be mentioned a month or even a week after it happened.   is right on point on this.  It's been up for nine months, which is eight months and three weeks longer than it should have been
