New Zealand aftershocks


Earthquake flurry jolts central NZ


2 August, 2013

A flurry of six earthquakes have struck the country overnight, with the strongest, a magnitude 4.9, hitting off Seddon.

The 4.9 magntiude quake, which struck just before 1am, was centred 25km south-east of Seddon at a depth of 22km.

It was followed by several smaller aftershocks, the biggest of which was a magnitude 4.5 quake 30km east of Seddon at 6.38am.

GeoNet had reported a magnitude 4.5 quake 15km northwest of Christchurch at 4.12am, but this has since been removed.
