Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake hits New Zealand

I was at work today when this earthquake hit New Zealand.  We knew within minutes when it happened but didn't hear of any damage until later in the day.  Fortunately, the quake didn't generate a tsunami.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has the statistical data:
