[QUOTE="Peterexpatkiwi, post: 1201637, member: 107500"] Whilst I am not knocking the effect on the nerves of those who are not used to earthquakes 3.3 is very small. Most New Zealanders would be a bit blase about it to be honest . New Zealand - like areas of the United states, Canada and Japan - is a major earthquake zone. We have literally thousands of earthquakes per year of which generally something between 150 to 200 are big enough to notice. It's quite common to notice a lamp swinging or your water sloshing in your glass - that's a three to three and a half. A 4 is slightly more noteworthy. (Remember that for every point increase the severity goes up tenfold. That means a 4 is ten times stronger than a 3, a 5 is 100 times stronger than a 3). We've had 12 above three on the Richter scale this month, 3 of which were five or over - which is a moderate Shake; depending on the depth etc things can come flying off the shelf, and subject to a buildings construction it can cause structural damage. It's one of the reasons that New Zealand has such strong earthquake mitigation measures and building regulations. [/QUOTE]
