I've just asked GNS seismologist John Ristau to give his latest odds for another major shake in Wellington (the first question in his recent Ask Me Anything session with NBR readers).
A week and a half on from the Magnitude 6.5 Sunday rumble, GNS is no longer calculating daily probabilities for the Cook Strait region.
Looking out further:
"For a M 5.0 - 5.9, the probability for the next seven days is 47% and within one year 95%," Dr Ristau says.
"For a M > 6 the probability is 6% for the next seven days and 25% within one year.
"The 25% probability for M > 6 within one year is approximately three times greater than what we would normally expect for this region."
