this quake is because of intense solar activity three hours ago maybe

Yep.. I hope it will not trigger some ChristChurch rage ..or even Further North.. like oh..may it NOT. It will not be fair.

It's not even that deep ... Hopefully there's no Tsunami affect from this ...

Yeah, not now, but in the beginning the depth was a lot less ...

At first it was only at a depth of around 8.4 KM ...

Map: earthquake.usgs.gov...

Felt widely in the North Island of NZ... few of my friends felt it... here's the Geonet shaking map.. (you may need to zoom out)

www.geonet.org.nz...

Our local network, Geonet, has it at 6.4 33km down. Usually more accurate than USGS as nearer recorders.

No, that's just a usual aftershock.. the 6.4 wouldn't trigger anything in Japan

reply to post by kassych


yes i saw it but i didn't noticed the time.
Wow earth shake you body !!

reply to post by MoorfNZ


Hope NOT ..these aftershocks seem to be constant...when will they ever let up.. the people need some peace already!

reply to post by kassych


Tell me about it, we've had over 5,000 aftershocks since our 7.1 last Sept Nowhere near as bad as the Japan one, but still not great for the nerves (great for weight loss tho!)
