Extreme ground accelerations as high as 1.8 g near the epicenter were recorded. The event caused intense liquefaction in the eastern suburbs of Christchurch as well as closer to downtown, near the course of the Avon River. The Darfield earthquake was followed by a major aftershock on 22 February local time (21 February UTC) of magnitude Mw 6.2 (source: GeoNet), but Me...
