This quake is the latest aftershock to follow a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Christchurch in the fall of 2010.Read more about the earthquake on National Geographic News.

OH GREAT this is the same thing that happend to Hatti.

Well , In the times of trouble … when Jesus will be re-born,
there will be quake and major disaster everywhere.
There is a way to lessen the quake. To pray to god everyday and hope that everyday will be a good one. and try to follow what Jesus has preached in his days. Jesus has sacrifice his life for human so that he could show how great is his compassion to mankind.
You could experience and felt the same as Jesus and then ,hope that all sins will be forgiven ..that there will be no more earthquake in NZ or the effects could be lessen by your prayers everyday. People has forgot the Almighty God .May NZ be spare…
