The principal event, sometimes referred to as the Darfield earthquake, struck at 4:35 am on September 4, 2010.

Richie McCaw is one of the greats of the modern game having led the All Blacks to Rugby World Cup glory in 2011 and claimed the International Rugby Board's Player of the Year award on a record three occasions.
A stress fracture in his right foot would trouble McCaw for much of 2011 and having undergone surgery to insert a pin at the start of the year, he was forced to manage his game time throughout the season.
In March 2012 it was announced that because of additional damage it had sustained in the aftershocks, the Anglican cathedral was beyond repair and would be demolished.
The All Blacks skipper racked up another accolade when he surpassed Australia's George Gregan with a record number of Test wins (94) following New Zealand's 60-0 thrashing of Ireland in June 2012.
His autobiography, Richie McCaw: The Open Side (2012), was also published under the title The Real McCaw: The Autobiography.
He later announced he would exercise the sabbatical clause in his NZRU contract in 2013 and as a result he sat out the majority of the Super Rugby campaign and the June internationals before returning in time for the play-offs and the Rugby Championship.
He played 145 times for the Crusaders through 2015 and helped the team to four Super Rugby titles, three times as captain.
In 2015 he was made the youngest-ever member of the Order of New Zealand, and the following year he was named New Zealander of the Year.
