Megaquake could hit central New Zealand

Scientists finally have proof that central New Zealand could be ticking down to a highly damaging "megathrust" earthquake.
Earlier research has suggested the seabed between the Wairarapa and Marlborough is capable of generating magnitude 7-plus quakes.
Now researchers have found solid geological evidence that an area off the coast of Wairarapa and fringing Cook Strait causes "megathrust" quakes and tsunami similar to, but probably smaller than, the devastating magnitude 9.0 March 2011 event in Japan.
