We felt several earthquakes in the Eastern Bay of Plenty this morning.

At least four tremors were felt in the Waktan region, the largest of which was recorded by GeoNet with a magnitude of 3.4, 10 kilometers north of the city, at a depth of 4 kilometers at 8.10 am.

The earthquake was initially recorded at 4.3 but was soon reduced.

A 3.0 score was recorded at 5.27 a.m. at the same location, another 3.0 at 7.37 a.m., and a 2.7 at 7.45 a.m.

GeoNet recorded several more earthquakes in the area this morning, but they were described as “unremarkable”.

Residents took to social media describing the quakes, with one saying: “Someone else now! I’ve definitely felt and heard it.”

Another described one as a “short sharp tremor”.

Mike Kun, a Whakatane resident, said she felt the aftershocks.

“I live near the beach, after 7.50 am the waves seemed much higher, then the same with the 8.10 am shaking. The waves will settle after each jolt.”

Another resident said, “We felt them all. An earthquake made them.”

More soon.
