What’s shaking in New Zealand? Turns out everything.

The biggest earthquake in 150 years is hitting Wellington at the moment, but none of the locals are diving under desks or sheltering in doorways.

The magnitude 7 quake is centred to the west of the capital and is 40km deep, and has been rolling all year, GeoNet Operations Scientist Caroline Little said.

Despite its strength, even sensitive recording instruments were hardly registering the shake, she said.
