Earthquake

I have experienced my first earthquake in New Zealand or ever as far as i know. Apparently there have been a few since my arrival but they were small enough for me not to notice ect. This one measured 4.3 on the Richter scale and was located 10km north of Eketahuna, at a depth of 40 km. No worries, it was just a curiosity that I could barely feel. I was napping upstairs
