Earthquake Shakes Middle of Country | Auckland News

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake rattled the middle of New Zealand last night, felt across nearly 9,000 people from Taranaki to Christchurch — even as far north as Auckland. It’s part of a recent uptick in seismic activity, following two 5.9 quakes just weeks prior. Social media erupted with reactions ranging from disbelief to shock, while GeoNet confirmed the quake was shallow at 38km depth — thankfully with no injuries or major damage reported. Just another reminder we live on a restless planet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
