During the past few days there has been a spate of earthquakes just southwest of our capital city, Wellington. They've been fairly small, up to mid-5 in magnitude, but they had a 6.5 earlier this afternoon which might just about be big enough to make the news.
It's been reported in our local news site as a 6.8 but GNS have since revised it to 6.5. I haven't heard any reports of damage or casualties but I don't anticipate much. I actually felt it here but it was very subtle. It took about 2 minutes to get here :) I'm hoping they don't get anything much bigger than that but if our country falls off the face of the earth soon you'll know why. There's a long history of seismicity in that area with major ones in 1848, 1855, and a couple in 1942.
