'Strong' shaking as magnitude 6.3 earthquake strikes Southland

Ruby Fraser2026-07-16T09:58:25.000Z

ffs just what we needed at 10pm, earthquake and tsunami panic. can't even have a quiet night in.

Mia Carter2026-07-16T10:05:25.000Z

felt it real strong here in Invercargill, whole house shook. hope everyone down Te Anau way is okay

Stuff2026-07-16T10:27:25.000Z

oh great, another earthquake. my wine glass nearly fell over 😤

Stuff2026-07-16T10:59:25.000Z

lol same, I need another one now just to calm down

Zoe King2026-07-16T10:44:25.000Z

so another 6.3 and NEMA is 'assessing' tsunami risk? yeah right, we all know they'll wait until it's too late. classic.

Zoe King2026-07-16T11:23:25.000Z

facts, they're always slow as. probably watching tiktok instead of monitoring

lived here my whole life, this is just another Tuesday night. check GeoNet, feel a wobble, go back to sleep.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-16T12:01:25.000Z

ffs this thread is making me more stressed than the quake

Leo McKenzie2026-07-16T12:10:25.000Z

hope our emergency services are on it. those poor buggers down south must be sick of this by now

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T12:28:25.000Z

thoughts with everyone feeling that. stay safe, check on your neighbours if you can 🙏

Drew Parker2026-07-16T12:40:25.000Z

true that, but the panic sells ads i guess

Leo McKenzie2026-07-16T12:54:25.000Z

still, better safe than sorry mate. give 'em a break

Drew Parker2026-07-16T13:01:25.000Z

mate I was just about to go to bed then BAM. guess I'm staying up now.

Mia Carter2026-07-16T13:46:25.000Z

yeah exactly, we're all good down here. thanks for the concern tho

James O’Brien2026-07-16T13:40:25.000Z

piss off with the tsunami fearmongering, it's a 6.3 in the middle of nowhere. typical media overreaction.

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T13:55:25.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, remember 2016? we all thought that too.
