Earthquake in Wellington or further afield?

10.38 went on for nearly a minute, was a reasonable rattle hope we got the worst of it?

Feel the earthquake just now - Probably nothing by Christchusrch standards but felt pretty good here in Upper Hutt

**Buyasta** · 3rd July 2012, 22:42

Huh, felt that here in Christchurch too - pretty gentle, but fairly long.

**Woodman** · 3rd July 2012, 22:43

Good and long here in Nelson too.

Quite a gap between the p and s waves so can't be too close to Wellington but it was a big one somewhere.

Early word is a 6.5 near Opunake.

felt it good in the Hawkes Bay. Too cold to get out of bed though.

**pete376403** · 3rd July 2012, 22:48

6.3 apparently, but no details of epicentre or depth

Am in New Plymouth, went for a long time, a shudder and slowly built up

Is Christchurch okay???

made a strange noise too i thought,almost a hissing/humming sound

Now confirmed as a 7 on Geonet. I've never felt an earthquake go on so long in Wellington before.
