NZ QUAKES 7.0 AFTER SHK 5.5 CAN'T FIND NEWS [VANITY--TEMP--PLSE DELETE IN BEFORE 12:00 PDT]

HELP, PLEASE. I have a friend on the South Island and I'm extremely eager to hear news of the 7.0 quake there. Have searched the web extensively and have a streaming NZ radio audio and still can't find much of anything beyond that there was one and no injuries yet reported.

But the 7.0 quake is not that far from Queenstown near the South Wester tip of NZ. And, the depth is not very deep according to USGS.

Seems to me there SHOULD be more news unless it's because of the night there and the relatively low population????

Any suggestions or NZ FReepers who can report???

Thanks much. Just very eager to hear.
