New Zealand has again been struck by several serious aftershocks, almost four months after a quake that killed 181 people.
This is the last in a string of extreme weather events, including tornados in the United States, draught in China, and floods in India and Australia. Closer to home, torrential downpours have caused damage across the Western Cape and KZN.
A magnitude 5.2 quake struck at Taylors Mistake beach, 9.6km (six miles) from the city centre. A second quake, magnitude 6.0, struck an hour and 20 minutes later, shaking buildings and causing injuries.
A number of people suffered minor injures; boulders have been reported to be tumbling down hillsides.
A week ago, Christchurch was also hit by two shocks which cleared shop shelves and increased nervousness in the city.
A total of 181 people died in the 6.3-magnitude quake in February, which also destroyed hundreds of buildings.
