The latest from@geonet 7 am update:
- 125 earthquakes in last 12 hour
- 220 earthquakes in last 24 hrs (4 over M4)
- 6159 earthquakes since the M7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake.
So while in general the frequency and size of the quakes is gradually easing off it is not all over yet, and periodically some bigger quakes come back to remind those in the shaking region.
Geonet still predicts an 81% chance of an M6-6.9 shake in the next 30 days and 99% in the next year, and a 34% chance of a greater than M7 in the next year.
