puponga, farewell spit - went on for approx 1 minute, furniture shaking, lights swinging, animals disturbed. building shook quite hard Nelson City - Upstairs in the Business School at NMIT (K Block on Alton Street in Nelson). Enough of a double-jolt to get me away from my desk & into a well-reinforced doorway in case there was a follow-up jolt. Wellington - I was in the kitchen and noticed the house was vibrating slightly and could hear a rumbling sound so went to the kitchen doorway quickly. The vibration turned into noticeable shaking and so I hung on to the doorway until the shaking stopped. No damage. We have 7 chimneys so I have several chimney free spots to go to for earthquakes.
