      Hi, I’m from Christchurch. I would just like to point out that it all started in September 2010, not last year, when the devastating aftershock hit.
      also, is there any particular reason why Geonet is not being used as an earthquake source?

        Matthew,
        I know but the aftershock in 2011 was the most destructive, anyway you are right, we had to stipulate it (which we will do now :) ). Geonet is included in our listing. Geonet is vertainly in the list. Check it again and you will see.
