The Hawke s Bay earthquake on 3 February, 1931 killed 256 people, turning Napier and Hastings to rubble.
The cities were built back stronger, but the memories still linger.
Hamilton Logan was just six years old when the quake struck at 10.47am.
He was in the storeroom of his family farm in Kereru, west of Hastings.
The now 96-year-old still remembered the moment vividly. I was sneaking one of my favourite biscuits because it was morning tea time and all of a sudden I heard this rumbling noise, rather like a train coming into the station, he told RNZ.
