There's your next 'Third Island'/Rakiura/New Leinster/Stewart Island regional 'quake....

Re: the Arthurs Pass series, yeah, I found it odd that there were no aftershocks nearer Lake Coleridge if that had been the real location...

no one was hurt so that is always a good thing.
Revised to 5.9513 is a bit of a disappointment, lets hope its not just a precursor like the Cook Strait ones in 2013.

one foreshock 4 seconds prior, at Flat Hill 3.41km to the north on the other side of Eliot Ridge.

90 aftershocks to 14:40NZDT.
seem to be running both west and east, at right angles to the Fault shown on GNS's Geology Map

NZ Topo maps are OK, but I miss the list that used to come with Google Maps.
Especially when it comes to aftershock series.
alternative here on ikimaps, i have to create the KMLfile at the right height above the ground and centre it to make it appear on the map as shown, you can't just load a standard NZ daily KML straight on. Last one on the list is the foreshock, I forgot to shift it to the top.

110 aftershocks now at nearly 12 hours.

Well I warned yas Panama could be in trouble:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

6.6 just hit.

That's within 100 km of the other 6.6 that hit on December 8. Two 6.6's on a subduction zone spells bad news. Not good.

Gibson Creek, 5.9513 aftershocks

77 more aftershocks, mostly M2's, and easing ( longer between quakes), basically following the Gibson Stream (Valley) west to east towards Unknown Stream and Mt Findlay

A few small ones around Vancouver Island these past few weeks. Better get those earthquake kits restocked.

not sure where you got that number from
EQCAN say 4.6ML

GFZ are mb 5.0 but more NE inland and probably wrong

It was from the evening news.

Now its 3.5

never heard of that one before, r must stand for "regional" as in

Moment magnitude derived from a moment tensor inversion of complete waveforms at regional distances (less than ~8 degrees), generally used for the analysis of small to moderate size earthquakes (typically Mw 3.5-6.0) crust or upper mantle earthquakes.

what will they come up with next to dumb down the size of earthquakes to make it seem nothing much happened?

Is that on the big Island? There is one massive potential landslide that could happen there, not a good place for a swarm.

I named it the Gibson Creek quake, but GNS have called it the Wilberforce River quake.
splitting hairs really, it was on Gibson Creek, which runs into the Wilberforce.
They are saying this one may be related to the 1994 6.7 quake across on the other side of the Wilberforce valley.
article from the Christchurch Press

seems to be a short 6 day aftershock series, was down to 4 x M2's yesterday.
