SF New Mexican/AP:

Reno, Nevada is being rocked and rolled by an increasing frequency of earthquakes. “What they can’t say [scientists] is whether the hundreds of temblors that have rattled the area for two months — the largest a magnitude 4.7 Friday night — are subsiding or a prelude to bigger things to come.”

My limited understanding is it’s better to have a long series of smaller quakes - it means geologic pressures are being reduced, decreasing the likelihood of a disastrous quake.
