More aftershocks are likely in the coming months, and can commonly happen up to a year after the initial earthquake.</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-01/67455095-19023613.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\">Two noticeable aftershocks occurred Wednesday in the same cluster area of the Central Virginia Seismic Zone that has produced more than 60 aftershocks since last August's initial magnitude 5.8 earthquake in Louisa County.
