    More than 5000 people have reported feeling a weak earthquake near Wellington just over and hour ago



    GeoNet reported a magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck about 10km south-west of Paraparaumu at 7.46pm today - 44km deep.

    Within 15 minutes, more than 5300 people had reported feeling it.

    One local says their house normally doesn't move for anything under a 5, but it did with this one.
