A
"severe" 5.7 magnitude aftershock has hit North Canterbury,
following a 5.4 magnitude earthquake in Hawke's Bay earlier in the
day.

Thousands
of people, from Dunedin to Auckland, reported on GeoNet they felt the
earthquake.
Three
minutes earlier, at 6.10pm, a "strong" magnitude 4.6

This
evening's aftershocks follow a magnitude 5.4 earthquake off the coast
of Hawke's Bay at 1.20pm.
