Nice earthquake this morning. I was at a meeting in the Hutt Valley Emergency Management Office, when some of us felt it. There were a few questions as to whether someone had been shaking the table or not, but we knew that if it had been an earthquake, our phones would soon beep to tell us that Geonet had recorded something - and sure enough...
