The aftershocks have continued to rattle Christchurch this morning, with a particularly large one striking at 6.37.
Centred 10 km east of Akaroa, it measured 5.1 and was at a depth of 9km.
In Diamond Harbour, Gary Henderson says it seemed to go on, and on.
"It started out very violent, I had stuff thrown off all the shelves in my lounge and as it eased off it got lesser and less, and I'm shaking like diva.''
Mr Henderson says like all Cantabrians, he's over it.
