Recently, Canterbury has been feeling some more aftershocks. On Monday 13th June at 1.00 there was a 5.5 magnitude aftershock/earthquake felt by some of the students at Dorie School. At that time, the YR 7 & 8's were at manual and also felt the shake.
Following the 5.5, there was a 6.0 magnitude shake as well. The 6.0 was felt all in Christchurch and even down in Dunedin & Invercargill. These earthquakes caused more destruction to Christchurch, and some of the effects were similar to the 22nd February.
Also, on the morning of Wednesday 15th June, there was another 5.5 magnitude aftershock, felt by some residents of Dorie.
