Quake widely felt in New Zealand; no damage reported

None

A magnitude-5.5 earthquake has been widely felt on New Zealand's North Island, though no major damage or injuries were reported.

 

The epicenter was relatively deep at 68 miles. That lessens the surface impact, though such quakes tend to be felt over a broader area. (Reuters)
