Auckland's Earthquakes.

On the 17th of March 2013, Auckland experienced it's first earthquake since 2007. The tremors came from the Island next to Rangitoto, Motutapu. The first one was a 3.1 magnitude at 4.01pm and the second one was a 3.9 magnitude earthquake at 4.05pm. The 3.1 magnitude was 6kms deep and the 3.9 magnitude was 5kms deep. I wasn't there to experience it but my friends were. We are going to be hearing from them both. My first mate said " I was asleep when it hit so I didn't feel. it." My second mate said "I felt it from Manukau." "I was reading one of my comics when the house started to shake." "It was so cool." I hope next time one hits I can be there to experience it.
