The earthquake was felt as far north as Auckland and as far south as Christchurch.
“Not the word of a lie, this … quake just scared the c*** out of me,” one Upper Hutt resident told the NZ Herald.
“I’ve literally sat bolt right up in bed.
“The noise, the sound, the length, the rattle … the worst one yet for me.
“Felt like a train drove right under the house and just now the aftershocks feel like the house is vibrating.”
Two more smaller quakes have been reported in the area since.
A 3.6 magnitude earthquake with a depth of 29km was felt at 5.23am, and a third 3.0 magnitude earthquake with a depth of 27km was felt about 6.05am.
