A 6.5 earthquake occurred 155km east of Te
Araroa this morning. The event was felt widely across the
District as a long rolling motion around the City, but more
strongly up the top of the coast. There have been reports of
items falling off shelves but as yet no reports of damage or
injuries.
The coastal schools are to be congratulated as
they all did the correct thing and evacuated inland, as the
earthquake went on for a long
time.
