I was working on my tractor in the garage and I heard vibration from the bench at 5.59pm which prompted me to go inside and check out Geonet.

We are a long way from Oamaru so the 4.2 shake must have been pretty noticeable there.

cheers

Tony pleased you got that quake in Oamaru as has been removed off the website in GeoNet beta.  Saw it a lot earlier in GeoNet and thought I would go back to it but has been removed. I wantd to check out the Lat and Long of it but cant do that now.  Too late now though so many thanks for getting it.  I wouldnt have a clue as to why it was removed though.
