It's normal. Most large earthquakes have hundreds or even thousands of aftershocks, though most are too small to feel. Sometimes a single earthquake can have multiple main shocks too. Also aftershocks aren't really earthquakes, they're just everything that got displaced adjusting to its new position. depending on how much stuff was moved and displaced, they could be pretty destructive.
