There has been much movement last few days around Te Araroa but mainly well out to sea and deep.
These ones today are just a wee bit bigger and definite more shallow????
12 since midnight between Wairoa and Te Araroa is my quick count :(
Lets just hope they cease.

Yes they are a lot more shallower now Jenny - hadn't picked up on that.
This is our latest one here where the lights were swinging s- which normally doesn't from that distance.

Well I do seem to be having a problem with this beta  report of Geonet.  It is reported azs being 176  km south of Martinborough (NI) - but actually well off the coast more towaeds Kaikoura (SI)  and the depth is reported a being at 0 depth out to sea.
This is the NZ drums and also how it was felt in Christchurch.  Not reported by GeoNet as yet either and at 7.44pm tonight.
