Doubtful. I heard it was pretty lame, but there's always aftershocks..

The richter scale measurement doesn't mean shit on its own, it was deep and off the coast, so it was just a jaunty shake.

Yeah, we have heaps of earthquakes in NZ, it's fun. In my first year of uni my hostel was a converted office building in downtown Wellington, the building would sway heaps in earthquakes, made it feel much worse than the earthquake actually was. The girls would start crying, twas hilarious. LOL
