THE Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa and Taupo regions on New Zealand's North Island were shaken by earthquakes on Saturday and Sunday while scientists continue to record aftershocks in Canterbury.
A magnitude 4.3 earthquake was recorded 30km southeast of Hastings at a depth of 30km at 8.49am (6.49 AEDT) today, GNS Science said. It was felt from Waipawa to Napier in Hawke's Bay.
A magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck 30km east of Masterton at a depth of 40km at 11.11pm (9.11pm AEDT) last night and a Taupo felt a 2.9 earthquake at 3.07am (1.07am AEDT) this morning.
While there was no relief for people in Canterbury nearly a year after Christchurch was devastated by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. GNS Science reported earthquakes measuring 4.2, 4, 3.8, 3.7, 3.5 and 3.2 in Canterbury so far this weekend.
On February 3, 1931, an earthquake measuring 7.8 killed 256 people in Hawke's Bay.
