The New Zealand town of Gisborne on the North Island has been hit by a 5.3-magnitude earthquake less than 24 hours after a volcanic eruption on White Island claimed at least 5 lives.
The shallow earthquake struck 25 kilometers south of Gisborne just before 1 p.m. local time. The epicenter of the quake was 29 kilometers deep and felt as far afield as Cambridge, Hunterville, Dannevirke, and even Wellington.
