UPDATE: 9am Central Time on Friday there was a 6.1 Richters in between Canadas' Vancouver and Queen Charlotte Islands, AND updating now 6,568 Felt Reports Locally in New Zealand with magnitudes changing between 6.1 and 6.4 there, NOW Todays EQ Blog: 6.3 New Zealand was followed by a 4.3 and 4.1 and was rated at a 5.9 last time I checked on the USGS, who also had the following felt reports:
City.......State...........Country......................#.....Km
Cheviot, Canterbury, New Zealand...........2....101
Nelson, Nelson, New Zealand..................1....104
Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand...5....173
Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand.......4....180
Kapiti, Wellington, New Zealand..............1....218
New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand...1....351
Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand...............1....473
Now those numbers will outdate rather quickly since all this just happened in about the final hour before this EQ Blog is going to press and I will have updates during the day U.S. Time, noting that it seems to already be the end of Friday NZ time. Also should add that there are currently 4,872 felt reports at the New Zealand GeoNet website where the reports are not connected to the ones above received through out regular USGS reporting system. Obviously the general public in their country turns to whatever local seismology service handles that sort of info and not to our USGS. Again, that number is probably spiraling upward as day passes, too!
There have also been MANY other earthquakes that were notable including a 4.1 Idaho and that 5.5 Offshore Northern California Earthquake that as of this writing was felt in the following places:
City........State........USA......................................#.....Km
Eureka, CA 95501 United States of America.....1....265
Eureka, CA 95503 United States of America.....1....268
Arcata, CA 95521 United States of America......2....276
McKinleyville, CA 95519 United States of America.2....278
Crescent City, CA 95531 United States of America.2....312
Brookings, OR 97415 United States of America..1....332

Latest on New Zealand is (Updated) 6568 felt reports on their system with upwards of (Updated) 21 even coming from all the way north at Auckland!!! As well as lots of the surrounding communities in that region as well, or you can almost say everybody in New Zealand must have felt the shaking from this one with some fairly graphic descriptions in there, too!!!
I have to point out that we're watching for a Major Earthquake as big as 8 Richters somewhere out there in that Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate Region and New Zealand is very much a part of that region although such movement as NZ just experienced could also mean the final stages of plate moving directly into Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, China or one of those other little out of the way places in that region so BE WATCHING For More serious Massive Major Earthquake-Tsunami Events!!!!! Something could strike California-West Coast, yet, too!!! Major Earthquakes are still out there!!! God Bless!!! EQ Guy
