Earthquakes rocking the bay
Small but shallow tremors are continuing to rock the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
GNS science say a total of 9 minor earthquakes have been registered today within the Eastern Bay of Plenty since 8am this morning.
A spokesperson says the small tremors range between 2 and 2.8 magnitude, mostly west of Whakatane.
A reader from Kawerau says they are getting 'scary'.
"We have been feeling them all day and it's quite scary thinking is there a big earthquake on the way."
