I've been in a big one in Japan and that was like a minor shock in comparison but that's the first time I've ever been in one in this country. Must have been a big one for us.

If it was an earthquake, and one felt so widely, the focal depth will be a deep one.

Nah! Quakes are fun to experience, especially when you live in a zone prone to them, like NZ. You just never know if it's going to be "the big one" or not.

Reported on BBC, 4.8, a baby. Try out a 6.5, that'll get your bowles moving.
