People across the North Island of NZ and areas across the nthrn half of the South Island had a shaky awakening this morning at 04:37 NZST, Fri 02 Sept 2016, 16:37 UT, 01 Sept 2016.
The M7.1 struck just off shore of the East Cape of NZ . A tsunami warning was issued but was soon cancelled. This event was preceeded by a M 5.8 on Thursday morning

This event is likely the result of the subduction of the Pacific Plate seafloor under the Australian plate.
The plate boundary is roughly defined by the red line on the above mapcheers
