Ninety years since Hawke's Bay earthquake
Today marks 90 years since the Hawke's Bay earthquake. At 10.47am on Tuesday, February the third 1931, a 7.8 magnitude shake all but levelled Napier and Hastings. Hamilton Logan, who was six at the time, was at his family farm in Kereru, west of Hastings. The 96-year-old told his story to our Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin.
