Another jolt in Wellington

Another earthquake hit most parts of lower North Island. Measuring 6.2 in magnitude on the richter scale. The earthquake was felt across lower North Island with the epicentre being close to Eketahuna.

No injuries were reported, neither any flights from the airport were affected, but at Wellington Airport the giant eagle installed by Weta Workshop fell from the ceiling.

The Transport Agency says it has assessed bridges and they are all safe. However, there were reports of rock falls and slips in the Manawatu Gorge. The NZ Herald reported that the Gorge road is down to one lane, and the road between Pahiatua and Palmerston North is closed.
