PetraWhat's 7km under Kawerau?
oh of course https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_Edgecumbe_earthquake
I remember taking HS geography in 2010 and that quake was big in the textbooks still - of course, they would have been revised soon after

A line from the Tarawera volcano to Moutohora Island volcano goes through Kawerau and Edgecumbe, but things are never exactly that simple.

This image of #Putauaki Maunga (Mount #Edgecumbe), the volcano to the east of #Kawerau is floating about.
Locals claim the circled line is new.
Some say it's caused by boulders careening down the slope, but that doesn't explain the lateral portions, or the apparent symmetry to the left.
Flank collapse is not impossible.

@zl2tod oh dear, I hope that's coincidental

Indeed. Could be a red herring.
The local seismometer is looking very classic seismic activity rather than magmatic or volcanic tremor so with luck any kind of eruption is unlikely.
