Apparently it wasnt as big as the last one, but its epicentre was closer to the surface.

Post by: mightytiges on February 25, 2011, 12:53:05 AM: The massive scale of destruction is really only hitting home now with about 100 dead and over 200 people still unaccounted for :( ; not to mention street after street in Christchurch in ruins due to the original earthquare shock, aftershocks and the resulting liquefaction where the whole ground has turned to soft mud and building foundations are now useless.
