  • How many aftershocks did you get? For how many days?

    Christchurch is in our thoughts and prayers.

  • @afegalese7 Christchurch is still getting aftershocks, with some very severe ones just over 2 months ago but it has slowed down a lot thank goodness. Christchurch as a city is still a bit in limbo as the Insurance Co's want insure new buildings while we still get serious aftershocks. For the record over 10,000 recorded aftershocks so far but being over 390 4.0 or bigger since September 2010 is still enough.

  • thank you so much for your videos its giving me a better understanding of earthquakes how often do you get an earthquak

  • @unitedben14 Hi, Aftershocks are expected to continue for around 2 years after the initial big shake which actually wakened several fault lines nearby. So far we have had 1x7m+, 3x6m+, 7x5m+, over 300x4m+ and over 2300 3m+ within our area since September. They are getting much less regular and we can actually go days without noticing one and then you may get 3 in a short period. The ground movement during the larger ones have been particularly violent and only 2nd to Japanese 9m in G-Forces.

  • @202ToranaMan Oh Jesus, 10,000 recorded aftershocks? I, personally, experienced an earthquake in Lebanon in 1997. It happened only twice and I felt deep down inside my world shaking. I wonder how can man get used to this feeling after 10,000 aftershocks. God bless New Zealand.

  • You show the "jump" we all get when one starts! You were pretty brave putting your laptop on the stool though!!  Rise up ChCh!

  • good catch, lol you do what we do, jump a lil, then sit and listen to see if we need to run

  • dont want to sound insensitive, but i find earthquake rather 'cool', and i totaly mean those small one, that dont create any serious damages or injuries. Of course i hate when they take lives and damages... but where i live we only get small to moderate earthquake once in a blue... like once a year not more ..
