Another quake today that we felt at home - a jolt, then slight shaking of the building.
This one was magnitude 4.8 and just off the west coast of the Wellington area.

Earthquake!
Whoah! We just had a nice little earthquake here in Wellington.
It was not (at my location at least) strong enough to cause any damage - except maybe to my nerves. NZ apartment buildings bounce and vibrate and creak quite well.
It was a 5.2 - a respectable minor shake.
Details from GNS Science / GeoNet:

Update: there have been aftershocks, but none of it did any damage. More info
