And a quick look at the Kahutara quake drum currently shows that things are still going sproing every now and then.

I think I actually heard the house creak for the two bigger ones on Friday evening, but the wind was blowing pretty hard at the time, so I didn't think earthquake.

Hopefully it's just easing off some pressure, preventing something bigger from happening...
