Napier. In 1931, New Zealand's deadliest earthquake devastated the cities of Napier and Hastings. At least 256 people died in the magnitude 7.8 earthquake 161 in Napier, 93 in Hastings, and 2 in Wairoa. Many thousands more required medical treatment
This question cannot be answered as it stands for several reasons. 1. Australia and New Zealand are two completely different countries, and separated by about 2,300 km. 2. An earthquake has not recently hit the North Island of New Zealand. In 2010 and again in early 2011, the far southern city of Christchurch, on the South Island, was hit by earthquakes, resulting in enormous damage throughout the city.
The epicenter of the quake near Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011 was 6 miles south east of the city at a depth of approximately 3 miles.
Yes. Christchurch is a city in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the largest city on the South Island, and the third largest city in the country. It is also, unfortunately, earthquake-prone.
Probably Wellington. But all of NZ is prone to earthquakes, and they can be unpredictable.
