Rock A By Baby in Your Hotel Bed

...a 5.1M earthquake will jostle your head.  Just laying in my bed here in Christchurch, trying to get some rest for an early day tomorrow when along comes a 5.1M earthquake to shake things up a bit.

Just another day at the office...

Quake Maps

The Earthquake Location Map shows the earthquake's location and the surrounding region. The Isoseismal Map shows contours, derived from a model, of equal MMI shaking intensity for the earthquake. The Seismicity Map shows the current earthquake (indicated by a star) in the context of ten years of 'shallow' (less than 40 km) seismicity.
