Seismograph cutout of aftershocks on September 12
Geonet, the website offering the GNS Science earthquake information has produced a list with all aftershocks in the Canterbury region since the massive earthquake on the night of September 4 in Darfield.
Every link in the list will bring you to the detailed report of the specific quake.
We have ranked the list by Magnitude NOT by date and hour.
The list goes from September 4, 4:35 AM until September 17, 3 AM
The bad news : 266 earthquakes in total (including the first M 7.1)
The good news : Since the major shocks of M 7.1 and M 7.4, the maximum value was 5.4 (very powerful but with minimal additional damage or injuries).
More good news : a lot of buildings have since been stabilized with less chance to collapse if a more powerful aftershock would strike.
Important : if you do feel an aftershock, check our ‘live’ seismograph page or check it at the Geonetwebsite
