Wellington Earthquake warning ! - New Zealand

[The Matrix Traveller]

There has been an Earthquake in Seddon near Cook Strait and I noticed it has occurred
much deeper than all the ones previously in that area including the previous Strong Earthquake
which took place in Wellington ?

It was 106 km Deep instead of 3 to 17 Km Deep  like the others previously !

This one was 3.5 in magnitude but not felt !

Maximum intensity ?: unnoticeable
Depth: 106 km
Magnitude: 3.5
Location:  30 km east of Seddon.

I am NOT sure WHAT this sudden change in Depth means IF anything
but I guess TIME will tell ?   

I Still fell very, very Uneasy about WHAT is taking place in NZ so I am NOT going to stop Recording this !

Who knows really I mean the guys who do all the testing and research are still scratching their heads down here.

Looks like minor damages but I would be asking questions about how the eagle came loose? I thought Wellington was up to speed on getting everything EQ sorted? It only takes one person to say the old 'She'll be right mate!' and you'll have a meal on your hands.

Don't get me started with EQC they have burnt all their money down here in Christchurch and no more to go around. 3 years after the quakes and people are still waiting for them to sort out their claims/mess. I feel sorry for the rest of the people of NZ who don't understand that they really are not covered by their insurance. When you have to get an Engineer, a QS and a solicitor to prove in court what your insurance policy covers/states then there is something wrong with the system. Guide lines have been put in place for EQC and insurance to wiggle their way out of honoring their policy. If you start to dig around the internet about the Christchurch quake and EQC/insurance claims you'll start to see the full picture.

Sorry for the rant in your thread Matrix

I have to agree with you it appears to be a bl%$y mess down there re. claims.

And you are right about that insurance and attitude in the North Island.

I hate to say it but think we are just seeing the start of all this... 

There are many others who feel the same in Wellington and I guess there
will be a few more now...

People are just going to have to be careful and be safe !

Gvt. has warnings out and we have been expecting "The BIG ONE"
for some 30+ years and I hate to say it but I think it is knocking at the Door.

So I hope people are prepared and keep their wits about them...

If we ignore the warnings We only invite danger !

I for one, hate earthquakes... We can do without them thank you...

But we have to be realistic and "LEARN" !

Stay safe everyone...
