    New Christchurch earthquake.

    New Christchurch earthquake.

    If you have access to a TV, their is live TV coming from Christchurch where another earthquake has just happened and it looks much worse than the first quake.

    Apparently not bigger

    A MAJOR aftershock has rocked Christchurch in New Zealand a short time ago.

    "You can see cars rocking as they go down the road," Sky News correspondent Kate King reports.
    "I saw the ground role up in front of me. It lasted for about 20 to 30 seconds."
    King said she saw fresh cracks appear in the road and "waterfalls of water" streaming as they pushed out of the ground.
    "It's fair to say I'm a bit scared. There are people hugging each other. It's quite traumatic. Quite a lot of these people have lost a lot financially and mentally."
    The shock measured 6.3 on the Richter scale.
    Christchurch was rocked by a 7.1 earthquake in September last year causing widespread destruction.
    This aftershock is the most severe of the thousands of aftershocks since then.

    Gee very sad news reports of possible deaths, the iconic church looks like its been destroyed. I have a great soft spot for Christchurch in fact a love for the whole of NZ, very sad and it must be terrorfying have the big one last year and the numerous aftershocks ,and finally getting back in rebuilding and have this happen again so soon. My thoughts are with the Kiwis

    5km shallower will be bigger in terms of power at the surface i should imagine. Cathedral is gone, buildings flattened and many reports of people trapped. early reports of multiple fatalities in the CBD from vehicles (incl two buses) trapped under rubble. Not looking lucky this time around...

    Live news feeds from the TVNZ site.

    The accelerative force of todays shake equalled the speed of gravity whereas the sept 4 shake was 0.8 the speed of G.

    Reports of oak trees uprooted by it.
