MMW: Northeastern Taiwan is weeks away from a major quake -- before November.

Of course: "The string of earthquakes that hit Taiwan's eastern coast Wednesday morning represented the normal release of energy from friction between the Philippine and the Eurasian plates, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said."

But that string has followed months of increasing action at the same general site. So is the energy building up or expending itself?

Don't panic. Morakot taught lessons, right?
