Was curious to see how many 5.0+ earthquakes had occurred in Aotearoa since 2015. I could only recall a few. Below in date location and richter scale.
6/1/2015 Arthurs Pass 6.0
24/4/2015 Marlborough (Seddon) 6.2
4/5/2015 Wanaka 6.2
2/2/2016 Kermadecs 6.6
4/2/2016 Christchurch 5.7
2/9/2016 East Cape 7.1
14/9/2016 Culverden (Kaikoura) 7.8
16/4/2019 Off Gisborne 7.0
17/6/2019 Off Gisborne 7.4
It has been a relatively quiet 4 years with no major quakes on the mainland. As always - be prepared.
