However, to me that's where it starts to break down as a natural disaster to me. There hadn't been a quake like this in 500 years, then there are TWO within 24 hours? The odds are virtually nil. What is really going on?
Quakes come in packs. Once the fault starts moving, sometimes, it keeps sliding for a while until the pressure is relieved. Aftershocks are pretty standard fair, even large ones. The idea that there should only be 1 quake is incorrect.
