Wellington braces for more shocks
Residents of New Zealand’s North Island are bracing for aftershocks following the magnitude 6.2 earthquake that damaged homes, cracked roads, toppled cliffs and left thousands without power.
Commuter rail services around Wellington have returned to normal after they were suspended yesterday. All state highways are open but police advise drivers to take care.
A sculpture of a giant eagle suspended from the roof at Wellington airport fell to the ground.
It was there to promote ‘The Hobbit’ movie trilogy.
It is predicted the next seven days will see another quake – or up to five – of between magnitude 5 – 5.9.
