A visual map of the Christchurch quakes. Up to the last 3 hours.

Thank for posting,

Sobering to watch....

No doubt some tired and sleepless folks there.

Thanks guys. Yes, very sobering. The authorities are saying that they are expecting another quake as large as or larger to still hit down in that area. Got to feel sorry for them. :(

Awesome graphic!! Thanks!

And it does feel like they come right after each other just like it looks.

I am quite concerned because the "aftershock" yesterday wasn't on the fault that started this all. It was a new quake.

I thought this and then the geologist on the news last night confirmed it.

The new quakes from yesterday in Diamond Harbour and Lyttleton were not off the same fault line that the 7.1 and aftershocks were off of. And if this is starting to trigger other faults---holy crap! We have lots of other faults in the area to go--notably the big one--the Alpine Fault.

I was hoping we were winding down with quakes but I am a bit worried that we are just getting started.

Good, now that I said this on GLP, it can't happen, right?

Yeah a new one. I would like to say that it is over, but sadly I do not feel so. Ears still ringing on and off, along with odd aches and pains.

interesting map and graphics. thanks for sharing!

No problems.

Stay safe!

Bravo!
..missing sounds

Well having been in a very, very large quake whilst I was in Guatemala, and countless smaller quakes in New Zealand. I can tell you the sounds can be scary. Some roll, some are sharp. Dunno that sounds would do anything for those visuals though.

For a direct reading,
look at this:

It was for a volcano .. and it can also identify the sizes of magma chambers

Appears to be a possibility of landslide into the sea...

Interesting. But nothing to do with the NZ quakes.

There is [link to modernsurvivalblog.com] maps, graphics and perhaps to better understand the development of the seismicity of Christchurch in the wake of the volcanic chain.

OK?
Understood!?

Hmmm, thats what I thought. I dont feel that good about it all today. When I have big headaches, and wake up with them, there seems to be co-inciding earth movements. I noticed this earlier in the year with the LA quake.

yes indeed.
