I was not up and didn't notice it at all but my seismometer thought it saw something!  It didn't show up on all three traces but it figured there was something.  You can see the little bump in the significance trace in red at the top.  The other three lines are different axes - blue is vertical and the green is East-West.  I am surprised it saw anything because it was so deep!

I felt it (at Port Robinson). Was still in bed and it was quite distinctive.
