Hmmm, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake a few minutes ago:

Reference Number: 2354133/G:

  • Universal Time: January 20 2005 at 18:56
  • NZ Daylight Time: Friday, January 21 2005 at 7:56 am
  • Latitude, Longitude: 41.09°S, 175.06°E
  • Focal Depth: 30 km
  • Richter Magnitude: 5.5
  • Within 5 km of Upper Hutt
  • 20 km northeast of Lower Hutt

It was bouncy — a bit like being on the back of a truck on a rough and pitted track across farmland.
