New Zealand is in the middle of a wave of fifteen earthquakes – with fears a significant tremor could be on the way.
The four strongest earthquakes have centred around Seddon in the South Island, and are all likely aftershocks from the devastating Kaikoura earthquake in 2016.
Government body Geonet Science wrote online that the weekend was ‘shaky’ for the ‘top of the South Island with three magnitude four quakes’.

Locals told Stuff the quakes had shaken their homes and made them fearful of another significant earthquake.
Marlene Jackson, who works at a cafe in Seddon, said the earthquakes ‘shake you up because it feels like it’s going to keep going’.
‘It shakes all your windows and rattles all your plates and just gets you thinking if it’s going to be another big one,’ she said.
She said it was a scary reminder of the devastating quake in November 2016 which killed two people.
The massive 7.8 magnitude struck the island and tore apart the seabed, shocking experts.
More aftershocks of the earthquake are expected to be felt across the south island’s north-east coast.
