We all felt it at the wellington meet. Stuff is saying was bigger than Edgecumbe... it was reistered as 6.8 at 40km deep just off the coast of gisborne. Luckily was out to sea just a tad.

We had one out by Orewa around april/may this year. I did some of the EQC claim assesments. Was a total of about 140 claims and most of them were in south auckland :o Not one was accepted either :P

After the analysis of the quake it was the equivalent of a truck driving past :roll:
