Mild quake, North Island

[general]

Turangi (Central Plateau) 0819 hr this a.m. we had a minor tremor. Barely a minute went by there came another smaller jolt.
Up here I'm 26 mins' drive from the biggest (and most active) volcanos in UnZud so, for once, I don't feel so left-out after the past year's geo-dramas.
To tell the truth, I was lazing in bed when it hapened, considering the idea of brekky. Didn't get up.

When I lived there we used to get jolts all the time. Never worried about it tho. What was the magnitude of this one?

It is actually a website pretty well thrashed by those of us down here. (ChCh).
