I finally felt my first earthquake while in Wellington. It woke me up when the house was swaying and things were rattling around. The Geonet website classified it as “Severe”. It was 5.3 magnitude, depth 13 km, and located near Seddon. I did not fall into a large crack in the earth.

This parking garage did not fare so well.
Actually that was from the large earthquake a few months ago near Kaikoura. New Zealand is still recovering from that quake.
