I am Syrian and we are still feeling earth shakes since the big earthquake.

The building we are in is fine since we were not close to the earthquake but glass was broken and it was very intense.

My question is, scientifically how bad it could get ? Could there be a more server one ?

Thanks in advance.

In the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the main quake (7·
.0) came the day after the previous one(6.0).
There were hundreds of aftershocks too. Stay safe!
