from a PM alert to me from @StevieNZ

http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2017p708412 - felt that a few mins ago

yup well that one was central Cook Str. 5.1 is a respectable event :)
I didn't record it or the signal was lost in the overpowering one from S of the South Island
which the USGS put at 6.1

Odd, because https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/nz-earthquake/97046815/earthquake-hits-south-of-invercargill earlier before

I recorded it quite well
the bottom event on the trace

https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/zhi-gif.211389/It has produced a really strong T-phase wave
the burst of signal at ~ 02:07UT ( bottom trace)

it's actually been a really quiet year this year
average are well down for the M7.0 to 7.9 events

so far this year there have only been 4 events in that category
there avg up till around September would normally be around 12 with around 18 as a yearly avg
I haven't seen it this low for a really long timeDave

For perspective - http://www.canterburyquakelive.co.nz/

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.1 quake hit at 1:14 p.m. (2:15 p.m. EDT) and was centered near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 76 miles (123 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City.

Earlier in the day, workplaces across Mexico City held earthquake readiness drills on the anniversary of the 1985 quake, a magnitude 8.0 shake that killed thousands of people and devastated large parts of the capital.
