For all things relating to tectonic plate collisions. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis... the Pacific ring of fire and world-wide. Please create new threads for stronger earthquakes when they happen above magnitude 5.0.

I didn't feel it myself but the windows rattled when the S Wave arrived. My seismometer received it's at 11:46pm and 10 seconds. Wave rolled on for around 3 minutes.

Interesting. I haven't felt any tremors living in Auckland since the Motutapu island one in March 2013.

Nothing here.
I don't report to Geonet as they were quite ignorant of some good shakes we had in West Melton during the Greendale/Chch earthquakes from 2010.

^ I think their systems are better now and less subject to overwhelm than they were back then.

I regret I didn't notice anything of last night's shake.
