Another local quake

If you woke up slightly before your 7am alarm this morning, it may have been due to a small earthquake at 6:56 am. It measured 3.3 on the Richter Scale, and was centred 10km north-east of Porirua, and 30km down. Not particularly big, but apparently it was enough to send some people scurrying for the doorway. I'm entirely certain that I slept through it. The cat jumping on the bed produces a bigger shake than that.
