Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Dear Friends, Eventhough NZ seismic department had ruled out any major EQ, I was of opinion that much would follow. The proof of my understanding being correct has just poured in. Please read the following report. New Zealand Capital Rocked by Earthquake, No Damage Reported Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand's capital Wellington was today rocked by an earthquake centered 30 kilometers (19 miles) north- east of the city center. No damage was reported. The quake was about 30 kilometers below the surface, and had a magnitude of 5.5, according to the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Web site. It struck at 7:56 a.m. local time. Seven temblors were recorded in the Wellington region on Jan. 18, the largest of which was of magnitude 5.3, according to the institute. New Zealand straddles the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, and a fault line runs below Wellington, which is home to about 300,000 people. The nation's biggest earthquake in 70 years occurred on Nov. 23, 2004, when a 7.3 magnitude quake southwest of the country shook the South Island.
