A strong aftershock has struck Canterbury tonight, prompting reports of damage and the closure of Christchurch Airport.
The shake measured 5.3 and was at a depth of 12km. It was recorded 10km west of Akaroa, 30km south-east of Christchurch, striking at 10.34pm.
People who experienced the aftershock have contacted ONE News, saying the 5.3 recording should be upgraded.
Dave Allan wrote "we have some hardened earthquake people here and this time even they have turned white and their knees are shaking", while Elena Gapper from the Merivale suburb of Christchurch said it felt "more like a 6.0" to some.

quote:A very dangerous earthquake occurred in the Turkish Elazig province at 10:34 AM on June 23 2011. Due to the type of earthquake and the shallow depth, earthquake-report calls this earthquake “very dangerous”
May we kindly ask Turkish people who live in the epicenter area or have relatives in the area to share their information with earthquake-report.com. Please use the I Did Feel It form below.
FINAL UPDATE 12:26 UTC : A Ml5.4 earthquake struck at very shallow depth (5.7km).
It was located close to Elazig, Turkey but affected primarily the towns and villages around Elazığ’ın İçme Beldesi.
In the mud brick houses in the villages of Kartaldere, heavy damage has occurred.
Many other villages have also recorded major damage to these rural mud brick houses.
In the upper parts of the village – the minarets of mosques have been destroyed. Luckily, there was no loss of life.
Tents and other relief supplies will come soon. This is also a mining district.
In the earthquake epicenter, 2 people jumping out of a window were slightly injured.
A 3.2 magnitude aftershock was also felt.

De warning viel uiteindelijk mee was alleen voor de omliggende eilanden al bleek in Seward ook het alarm te zijn afgegaan, Seward werd in 1964verwoest door tsunami's als gevolg van de 9.2 aardbeving.Heb in 2008 en 2009 gezien wat die aardbeving en tsunami's aan schade hebben aangericht in Anchorage, Seward en Valdez en tot hoe hoog de tsunamigolven kwam, niet voor te stellen als je daar staat en de beelden uit 1964 ziet.quote:
7,3 Aardbeving + Tsunami waarschuwing in Alaska! Ik blijf erbij, San Fransisco is de volgende
Over die van vandaag:
A magnitude 7.3 earthquake shook a large swath of Alaska's Aleutian Islands on Thursday evening, sending residents of small coastal towns to higher ground as officials issued a tsunami warning in the temblor's wake.
The quake was centered about 122 miles east of Atka, about 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage. It was recorded at a depth of 26 miles, the Alaska Earthquake Information Center said.
The quake was felt through the central Aleutians and as far east as Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, but no damage was reported, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman with the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
"It was shaking, it was just a little rumbly" and lasted about 20 seconds, said Atka resident Rodney Jones.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center posted a tsunami warning for some coastal areas of Alaska, but canceled the warning about an hour after the quake. The warning covered an area from 80 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor to about 125 miles west of Adak.
Jones said it appeared all of the town's 61 residents took to higher ground when they heard the tsunami warning, which he heard issued over CB radio. The townspeople gathered on a high hill for about an hour, near the city's new water tank.
During their wait for the all-clear signal, he said a priest with the town's Russian Orthodox Church recited prayers.
In Dutch Harbor, longshoreman Jim Paulin said warning sirens caused also caused hundreds of people to begin climbing up a nearby hill.
"Right now there's hundreds of people up on the hilltop," he told The Associated Press before the all-clear was given. "I can look across the bay and see people on another hilltop."
After the tsunami warning was canceled, he said everybody was "calm. It seems like everybody's kind of enjoying it. It's good weather."
Paulin said no one seemed panicked because the city has been evacuated in the past. But, he said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Vlieg over 2 weken weer die kant op, deze keer naar Vancouver Island dus hopen dat deze aardbeving niet een vulkaan wakker heeft geschud. Was in 2008 net 3 dagen weg uit Alaska toen een vullkaan op de Aleutian Islands uitbarstte en het vliegverkeer voor dagen lam legde..
Die maffe vent van QuakePrediction loopt al dagen te twitteren dat er een 6.0-7.0 beving bij San Francisco/LA Area komt.... elke dag is die kans erop zeer zeer groot 
Nou roept ie dat wel vaker, maar heb het nog niet zo vaak gezien als deze dagen...
De keren dat ik hem eens gevolgd heb heeft ie nog nooit gelijk gehad, maar ooit krijgt hij zijn zin

Interessant verhaal.quote:Study: California megaquake imminent
Man’s interference with Colorado River floods that used to regularly flow to the Salton Sea may have “stopped the clock” on a regular series of big earthquakes, setting the stage for a megaquake that could wreck Southern California, according to researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
A massive 7.5 or larger quake may be the result when the southern San Andreas Fault finally jolts back to life, causing waves of enormous destruction in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles basin, according to a study by Danny Brothers, Debi Kilb and Neal Driscoll published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience. Kilb and Driscoll were set to detail the study during a morning press conference.
The team examined “displacement indicators preserved in pristine sedimentary deposits, … reconstructed their earthquake history and found evidence for coincident timing between flooding of the ancient Salton Sea and fault rupture,” according to a press release. “Rupture on these newly discovered ‘stepover’ faults has the potential to trigger large earthquakes on the southern San Andreas Fault.”
Driscoll, a geologist, said in a press release that “earthquake simulations reveal that shaking of large metropolitan areas such as Riverside and Los Angeles will be larger if the earthquake propagates from south to north — our research suggests that the Salton Sea stepover zone may provide a trigger for such a propagation direction.”
The seismically active southern end of the San Andreas Fault Zone lies under the Salton Sea, a wide depression whose bottom is about 250 feet below sea level. The area was regularly flooded by the Colorado River over the relatively recent millenia, a practice that ended 100 years ago when levees were built to force the Colorado to flow into the Sea of Cortez just south of
Yuma, Arizona.
Between that diversion, the construction of upstream dams near Las Vegas and regional droughts, the Colorado has not flooded into the Imperial Valley and Salton Sink, a dry lake bed that was converted to the Salton Sea in gigantic floods in 1906. The Colorado last flooded and reached the Sea of Cortez in 1982, but it now trickles into the sand about where the San Andreas
fault crosses the International Boundary 155 miles east of San Diego.
The new Scripps study shows that several heretofore unknown fingers of the San Andreas system sit beneath the Salton Sea, and the sand and dirt of the Imperial Valley. The faults let loose with magnitude 7.0 quakes or larger every 180 years until the early 20th century — the same time the the Colorado foods that had brought billions of pounds of water to the area were staunched.
The Scripps study suggests that the Colorado River flooding may have affected the timing of the smaller, stress-relieving faults.
“We’ve been baffled as to why the Southern San Andreas hasn’t gone. It’s been compared to a woman who is 15 months pregnant,” said seismologist Kilb, in a press release. “Now this paper offers one explanation why.”
Lead author Brothers, a researcher now at the USGS who conducted most of the research while a graduate student at Scripps, noted in the release that the research does not improve the ability to predict such a quake but suggests that heightened preparedness for a major quake immediately following smaller quakes in the stepover zone is warranted.
The study covers the area just north of the zone struck by the 7.2 magnitude Mexicali Easter Sunday quake of 2010. It killed two people in Mexico, and although it was felt as a nasty sway in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, damage was limited to Imperial County and the Baja California state capital, Mexicali.
Because the magnitude scale is logarithmic, a 7.5 quake is 1,000 times stronger than a 7.2 quake.
The new Scripps study includes maps that show the San Jacinto and southern San Andreas fault lines bracketing the Imperial and Coachella valleys, and a curlicue-shaped Imperial Fault beneath El Centro and Mexicali, home to more than 1 million people.
quote:California Megaquake imminent
Like a steaming kettle with the top on, pressure is building beneath the surface of California that could unleash a monster earthquake at any time. That's according to a new study from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Geologists say Southern California is long overdue for a huge earthquake that could unleash widespread damage.
It all comes down to the Salton Sea, which lies to the east of San Diego. The Salton Sea lies directly on the San Andreas Fault and covers more than 350 square miles.
A big earthquake has hit the lake bed about every 180 years. But when officials started damming the Colorado River to reduce floods downstream (including in the Salton Sea), the moderate earthquakes stopped for the Salton.
Sounds like a good thing, right? Not necessarily. Seismologists think the damming stopped moderate stress-relieving earthquakes on the Salton. Now, they fear the pressure is building and the area could be as many as 100 years overdue for a mega-quake quake, measuring 7.5 or larger.
This sobering news comes just as a new poll is released that details Californians fears about earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Het rommelt daar...quote:Volcanic eruption in Salton Sea is possible
Comments from the U.S. Geological Survey are sparking questions about a potential volcanic eruption in Imperial Valley that could bring clouds of ash to San Diego County.
"Most definitely… Volcanic activity is possible," said geologist Pat Abbott.
Abbott was part of a research group that collected footage of muddy pits and volcanic gasses about 100 miles east on the southern end of the Salton Sea. The area is the home of four buttes that are several hundred feet tall.
The buttes are small volcanoes with an explosive past. Miles below them is a pool of magma that is 15 miles wide. About 8,000 years ago, the buttes erupted, causing magma to flow which cooled into obsidian rock.
The damage from those eruptions was limited to the surrounding area, but if a major earthquake hit along the San Andreas Fault, geologists said there could be trouble.
"It really pumps energy into a freshly enlarged magma body," said Abbot. "That would be a worst-case scenario."
Unstable magma may find a path to the surface, which would result in the buttes erupting, oozing lava and spewing ash.
Though ash clouds like those seen in Iceland last year is a remote possibility, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey recently said in an article from the Palm Springs Desert Sun that "I would not anticipate an Iceland eruption, but we didn't anticipate Mount St. Helens either."
Even if an ash cloud is small, it could still wreak havoc and alter flight plans.
"The way the ash gets to San Diego is if we have Santa Ana winds," said Abbott.
Abbot said it is an unlikely scenario but one that is lurking beneath the surface.
