And all going well, we may actually be able to, in the next five to ten years, get a pretty good handle on how often our city experiences intense shaking, at least over the last 100,000 years.
I'm not quite sure, but what I will say is that in 1891, there was a smaller magnitude earthquake just below magnitude 6.
Yeah, in the Port Waikato region.
And so that was smaller, but still really far from Auckland CBD, and it was felt there, and it had shaking there.
It broke windows.
And we would definitely expect the Mangatangi Fault would have an order of magnitude more shaking in Auckland, and then in the CBD region, by inference, you should be feeling that, I imagine, if you were up in Warkworth.
I wouldn't be too worried that you'd be getting serious damage to any of your buildings, though.
