I counted 13 more earthquake aftershocks over 5 so far.
But I was trying to highlight the degree of quiet preceding the flack.
Never mind. Take the aftershocks out of the equation over the next few
days and see what happens by Thursday.
I wonder if there is a connection with that result, to this:

(Philippine authorities ordered about 4,000 people to evacuate their
homes and farms near an erupting volcano in the central region,
disaster officials said on Tuesday.
On Friday, volcanologists raised the alert level to 3 on a 1-5 scale
after 2,462-metre (8,077-foot) Mount Mayon began spewing ash and lava.
The experts said Mayon, the most active of 22 volcanoes in the
Southeast Asian country, was showing signs of a major eruption within
weeks.)

( The Jakarta Post reported Tuesday thousands of villagers were fleeing
their homes on Siau island amid new activity from Mt. Karangetang,
which lasted erupted in 1940.
Reports said the sounds of explosions, the spewing of ash and lava
began last week.
Authorities were monitoring the situation, but there was no information
immediately available on whether a major eruption was likely.)

(QUITO, Ecuador (AP) - About 500 people of the thousands evacuated by
violent volcano eruptions last week will be permanently resettled
elsewhere, officials said Tuesday.
A hundred families from the hamlet of Bilbao on the western slopes of
the Tungurahua volcano will be relocated because they are unlikely to
be able to return to their homes, said Juan Salazar, mayor of Penipe,
one of more than half a dozen villages evacuated.)
Volcanicity doesn't show up in the NEIC list very often as quakes more
than enough to get the US ones posted. By the time a volcano is active
enough to hit 4M, the news is already spreading.
I said at the start of this year, that there would be thankfully few
North Atlantic Hurricanes this season but that there would be a lot of
seismic disturbances. Looks like I am still on the ball.
Good job somebody is, eh?
