Since the outbreak of the pandemic disease and the holding of virtual interviews, several things like barking dogs, meowing cats, and now an earthquake have interrupted live interviews.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, during a live interview, was interrupted by a 5.8 magnitude quake near the capital Wellington this morning.
Jacinda Arden appears to be unafraid of the earthquake. Holding a smile, she described the earthquake as quite a decent shake. No injuries or causality following the shake has been recorded.
Earthquake in New Zealand is not uncommon. Every year, the country experiences around 20,000 earthquakes. And around 50 to 80 daily.
Although, a huge number of these quakes are not felt by humans as they are too small.
Monday’s 5.8 magnitude earthquake is the strongest earthquake this year. Which is stronger than the 5.4 magnitude earthquake experienced in January which resulted in 45 aftershocks from magnitude-1.7 to 4.4.
Fleur Fitzsimmons, Labour councilor for Southern Paekawakawa while on a call to the Mayor was also interrupted by the quake.
