I did feel that one while at the gym this morning. Sometimes you think it's the aerobic class above creating the movement (60-80 people moving in time can do this) but it didn't feel like that at all. It was a gentle rolling type of movement.
Bugger!

THIS....



...is unlikely as the epicenter would have to be quite a way off shore to cause it as Tsunamis move AWAY from the epicenter. So a shock in Cook Straight won't flood things...

Well that is some good news yes?

'Strong' quake shakes Seddon

Residents in the top of the South Island have woken to a strong earthquake this morning.

The 4.5 magnitude quake struck 35 kilometres east of Seddon at a depth of 5km about 7.30am.

GeoNet described the intensity of the quake as "strong".

The aftershock is one hundreds felt in the area since a damaging 6.6 magnitude quake on August 16.

Part of me keeps expecting to see a news story about New Zealand completely detaching itself from the mothership.  I expect, that even in that event, Matrix would still find a way to update us.

Stay well my friend.

New Zealand has put up with a lot of quakes most notably in Christchurch which is in the south island where I live.

This quake map was created to show what we have been putting up with for pretty much 3 years now.
http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/all

September the 4th 2010 was the start of it all which the link takes you to (and the others) but the real heavy hitter was the February 22nd 2011 that hurt us. For the February 22nd map http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/february wait and watch the timer to the 12:50pm mark (2 small shocks noted before) when the big one hits and see how the quakes firer one after the other (you'll struggle to keep up just how quick they happen).

Madness when you see it like this :(
Bugger!

That one was bigger but still shallow, it's as if only the upper layer is moving? ???

Keep safe.  :)

I believe you to be 100% correct its only the upper layer moving.

I noticed we are getting fewer Deeper Earth Quakes, (Deeper than 100 Km) we were used to...
