A “moderate” 4.4 magnitude earthquake has shuddered Gisborne residents amid the onslaught of Cyclone Gabrielle.
The earthquake struck 25km west of Gisborne at 7.45pm and at a depth of 25km.
“As if heavy rain and wind isn’t enough,” one Gisborne resident told the Herald.
At least 1154 people reported feeling the quake, some as far as Taupō.
