Since I'm now awake: Quake report [update]

5.5, 24KM down at Pongaroa, widely felt Auckland to Invercargill about 40 minutes ago.  [GNS has now removed the outlier reports]

A good solid hit, fairly good shake, no obvious damage.

As normal, all the reporters at Stuff and Te Herald asleep. [finally on the job nearly 4 hours later]
