6th one.

6th one the last hour I guess? It's not uncommon to have several magnitude 6 earthquakes per day. What's uncommon is them being reported in the news, but for untold reasons news agencies around the world thinks earthquakes are more interesting now than they was a few months ago. Though, 57 dead humans is not really that common either.
