They say that this one released 12 quadrillion Joules of energy ... which is more than the sum-total of all other quakes in NZ over the last 6-7 years ... (including the Canterbury and Christchurch quakes of 2010/11).
This makes it ~ 1/16th the energy of Japan's March 2011 quake, which released 190 quadrillion Joules.
I'll try to post a few pics when I get time if anyone's interested. There's been some quite extraordinary changes to the landscape here...including an estimated 80,000 - 100,000 landslides (colloquially known as "slips" in NZ), and we now have significant quantities of new land (from seafloor uplift) .
Yes please do so!!
Thanks,
