Draft:Timeline of the Canterbury earthquakes
The Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand started with a moment magnitude 7.1 earthquake on 4 September 2010 at 4:35 am with an epicentre near Darfield. It caused widespread damage and was followed by several aftershocks, including a magnitude 6.2 earthquake on 22 February 2011, which had an epicentre closer to Christchurch's city centre. This caused 185 fatalities and much greater damage to Canterbury. Major events following this include a Mw 6.0 earthquake in June 2011, and a ML 5.7 earthquake in February 2016. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake occurred in November and caused further damage to Canterbury, but is not included in this timeline.
