The Christchurch newspaper is still reporting it as 7.4. It's just a little after 7 am there. Luckily most people were at home in their well constructed homes when it struck. Lots of damage I'm sure but hopefully any injuries will remain minor. I'm sure more details will be coming out now that it's daytime there.
