Fiordland has been rocked for the third time, as aftershocks continue to shake the region following July 15's massive quake.

According to GNS Science, the third struck at 2:06pm, measuring 5.0. It follows two quakes in the morning of similar strength.

The initial quake measured 7.6 and was the strongest in New Zealand since the Napier earthquake of 1931. Surprisingly, very little damage was done.
