Nice, fairly long gentle swaying just now #eqnz... anyone else in Ōtautahi notice it?

@irix crazy - my monitors were swaying, and yet there's no indication of it on geonet.org.nz - is it just me or has that service gone downhill bigtime since this new Gov't came into power?

@irix we're pretty far from a road with trucks (don't normally get local shaking if one passes)... I didn't notice anything passing on the road at the time...

@lightweight No sign of any #eqnz big enough to sway monitors this morning.Those small visible signals variously look like wind, traffic, or radio intereference.https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/drums

@zl2tod fascinating... ok, there must be some other big mass around that would create vibrations in our house... no appliances were running... maybe it's the pile driver a km away, up a nearby spur...

@lightweight Yah, could be lots of things, particularly heavy traffic, someone dropping a tree ...A very small very local earthquake would usually be juddery rather than swaying.

@zl2tod heh - yep, having lived in Ōtautahi for the last 30 years, I've experienced most sorts of quakes. Used to be we'd have a dozen perceptible ones a day... 10k in the few years following the biggest quakes here. We got surprisingly good at identifying depth, magnitude, and distance from us... used to be that a little shake wouldn't even warrant a mention. Strange times.
