Not so much a walk locally, more a shuffle. ANZ has an alternative name "The Shakie Isles" for a reason.
We just had a bigish earthquake here at 2:02am local time. I was sitting in my lounge thinking about going to bed and my lounge chair started moving.
I have experienced enough of these that I immediately recognised it. It was a decent shake, enough to rattle a few things and it went on for around 20 seconds. The whole house swayed a couple of times.
I looked it up, it took a while for reports to be published but it looks like it was centred around 200klms away and so no primary damage likely in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland but we have just had five months of rain in one week and there are some clifftop houses teetering on the edge and this may have been enough to push them over.
No obvious damage at our house. I will know more in a couple of hours or when I wake up.
Hopefully it is not the pre-shock for a bigger one that will follow.
