New Zealand - Earthquakes strike South Island

zwiebel · Jan 5, 2015

A series of earthquakes up to 6.4 have struck New Zealand's South Island, about 60 miles from Christchurch, where 185 people died in the 2011 6.3 quake.

There are no reports of damage or injuries yet. Hoping it stays that way.

There were loads of them! List and map at link.

'New Zealand Herald readers have been sending in their experiences of the earthquakes.

Tony Foote said the quakes were "disturbing".

"It rolled on a bit, quite heavily and I felt a bit sea sick as my chair moved about. A bit like being on a rising and falling wave in a small boat.

"There was a worry it might be something bigger on the way as an ornament I hung to see when quakes were happening swung 100mm side to side for several minutes, and the water in my cats bowl moved up and down 20mm or so." '
