ADVERTISEMENT Earthquake Jolts New Zealand Capital-Fri Jan 21, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB5DFPP74E.html Earthquake Jolts New Zealand Capital The Associated Press Published: Jan 20, 2005 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A magnitude 5.5 earthquake jolted New Zealand's capital early Friday, setting off security alarms and frightening many residents, officials said. The quake struck at 7:56 a.m. and was centered 20 miles outside the city, the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences said on its web site. "It was a good shake, I ducked for the doorway," said police Sgt. Ben Offner of nearby Upper Hutt. He said people reported items had fallen from shelves and cupboards, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injury. A magnitude 5.5 quake is capable of causing serious injury and damage in an urban area. New Zealand records more than 14,000 earthquakes each year, but only about 150 are felt and few cause any damage. AP-ES-01-20-05 2044EST
