Not really. It's been pretty average (knock on wood). We're yet to see an earthquake at 8.0 or above (the one mentioned by @heywoodu was "only" 7.8). Last time we've been without an earthquake at 8.0 or above was 2008. I believe the number of 7.0-7.9 has been pretty average (perhaps a bit above).
I used to think that things were getting worse and worse when it came to earthquakes, but looking at the statistics, it doesn't seem like it's that much (except that we're now slightly more used to the ones at 8.0 or above).
When it comes to casualties, it's not so terrible either, though of course every one of the 1327 (according to Wikipedia) deaths were sad.
I don't mean to make the major earthquakes less scary or the deaths less sad, but we've seen much worse.
But of course the year isn't done yet, and you never know when they happen!
