"7.6 earthquake rattles North Island overnight
Posted at 3:27pm on 17 May 2006
An earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale was recorded at 10.39pm Tuesday.
The Geological & Nuclear Sciences website said the quake was at a depth of 150km and centred 800km north east of Auckland, near the Kermadec Islands. It was felt widely in the North Island and as far south as Ashburton.
GNS duty seismologist, Ken Gledhill, says the quake would have been felt as a strong rolling motion which lasted for at least half a minute.
A seismologist at Victoria University says the depth of the earthquake mitigated its impact. Professor Ewan Smith told Morning Report that the quake did not cause damage because it was so deep and so far away. He said there was also little chance of a tsunami."
Ici ca bouge, ca fume, un peu tout le temps.
