The post from Nigel Antony Gray on November 6 said: "On November 14 and a couple of days either side of that date, watch for a major earthquake, and quite [possibly] in the South Pacific area." Mr Gray pointed to the increased gravitational pull of the "super moon" as the reason for his warning. November 14 marks the closest that the full moon has been to Earth this century. But earthquake expert Mark Quigley from the University of Melbourne says Mr Gray's prediction hasn't been vindicated. He says it's true that tidal deformations of the Earth due to the movements of the Sun and Moon could trigger an earthquake in some circumstances. This is the technical explanation: "It is possible that, for active faults that are imminently close to brittle failure due to the accumulation of tectonic elastic strains over geological timescales, the comparably small perturbations from tidal forces could be enough to trigger an earthquake rupture, or to allow a propagating rupture to travel further than it might have in the absence of tidal stresses." In other words, if pressure has already been building up over a long period of time, and an earthquake is imminently close, tidal stresses could be enough to bring it over the edge. But Dr Quigley says there's never been a case where the specific time, magnitude and location of a large earthquake has been successfully predicted in the short-term using tidal stresses. He says yesterday's earthquake in New Zealand is no exception. So what did cause the quake? Dr Quigley says "the plate tectonic setting of this earthquake, and the occurrence of several strong earthquakes in this region over the last few years, provide ample explanations for its occurrence". So can earthquakes be predicted? No. And the US Geological Survey says it's likely that this will remain the case. Scientists can know that an earthquake will take place in an area at some stage in the future. But they can't know exactly when. Why do we get them in the first place? The surface of the Earth isn't all one piece. It's made up of puzzle-like pieces called "tectonic plates". These plates are slowly but continually moving. Earthquakes are caused by these movements. Why does New Zealand get so many? Earthquakes are more likely to occur and more likely to be severe at the places on Earth where tectonic plates meet and hit against each other. Unfortunately, this is the case for New Zealand. It sits atop a horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific Islands known as the "Ring of Fire". This is where 90 per cent of earthquakes occur. Other affected countries include Indonesia and Japan, both of which have experienced deadly earthquakes in recent years. Australia is less prone to earthquakes because it sits right in the middle of a plate.20161114082500http://www.plenglish.com/index.php?o=rn&id=5722&SEO=japan-6.2-earthquake-hits-eastern-coast-strong-aftershocks-expectedJapan: 6.2 Earthquake Hits Eastern Coast, Strong Aftershocks Expected Japan: 6.2 Earthquake Hits Eastern Coast, Strong Aftershocks Expected.

The rest of the world began searching en masse for the words "New Zealand", in three different languages. Those three searches sat in the top 10 trending topics worldwide until around 9am on Monday morning. The earthquake led major news bulletins all over the world, from Australia to the United States. The news also activated a Facebook emergency tool, which was developed in the wake of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. "It is now 10am in New Zealand where the damage from a massive earthquake is coming into sharper focus," CNN reported. Pakistan news reported their cricket team was safe in Nelson, while Australian networks rolled in half-hour updates. Families frantically trying to contact each other used a Facebook tool that kicks in around the world during natural disasters. Users detected in the area can mark themselves safe, sending a notification to friends and family. For the thousands that used it, it would have been welcome peace of mind in the flood of photos that showed just how many New Zealanders were earthquake-affected.

In April, two strong earthquakes hit southern Japans Kumamoto prefecture followed by more than 1,700 aftershocks, leaving at least 50 dead and causing widespread damage.20161112014000http://www.theglobeandmail.com/feeds/canadian-press/world/strong-earthquake-strikes-off-japans-east-coast/article32829785/A magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck off the east coast of Japan early Saturday, but no damage or casualties were reported.

Then, a wall of water, with an unimaginable force that can flatten an entire building in seconds. If you survive the initial blow, you now face an unrelenting pounding of wave after wave, and like a pinball machine, you are being battered by debris, uprooted trees and cars that share the same violent trajectory as you. Those who have lived through a tsunami describe an almost unsurvivable scenario. "The first wave just looked like a wall of white coming toward you, and the sound ... it was just screams everywhere and just the crashing sound. .. the water just kept coming and coming," one tsunami survivor told CNN. So how do people survive one of Mother Nature's most deadly forces? Get to higher ground. Tsunamis are giant waves triggered by anything that disrupts the ocean, including earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea, so the first sign may be a rumbling Earth, or a rapid rise or fall in ocean waters. Don't wait for a warning. Run. For people in low-lying, coastal areas, a tsunami could arrive just minutes after an earthquake, far too quickly for official warnings to be disseminated. "Similar to storm surge in a hurricane, if you are on the beach when a tsunami comes ashore, you would not survive it," said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. "The force of the water, as well as all the turbulence and currents within, would be too strong. A 6-10 foot tsunami, while it doesn't sound huge, would be extremely damaging, and can run ashore great distances, depending on the elevation of the coastline," Miller said. Too late to run. Now what? Sometimes it may be impossible to avoid a tsunami. If you are trapped or unable to evacuate to higher ground, your next step is to find a sturdy vertical refuge. This is not ideal as the structure itself could collapse, but if it is your only course of action, head to the highest possible point. In areas with a heightened threat of tsunami, you may see buildings or escape routes marked with the international symbol for tsunami, follow these. If you are swept up in a turbulent current, your best course of action is to cling to something that floats, such as a door or a tree trunk. "I was saved by holding onto the roof, but my wife was swept away," said one man who survived the deadly 2011 tsunami in Japan. Stay vigilant. Do not return to coastal areas until the tsunami threat is declared over by authorities. Pay close attention to your local alert system -- radio announcements, official websites, social media accounts and emergency cellphone alerts -- and heed the advice. Tsunamis can last for hours, so use common sense. During the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the most devastating on record, many people were killed when they returned to the beach to watch the retreating ocean exposing the seafloor. A rapidly receding ocean is a phenomenon that usually precedes a killer wave, according to NOAA. The aftermath. Check yourself and others for injuries. Give first aid to people who are injured or trapped as you may now be in an area temporarily inaccessible to emergency assistance. Do not re-enter buildings until they have been cleared for structural integrity. Tsunami waters, like floodwaters, can undermine a building's foundations and cause floors to crack or walls to collapse. Bodies, destroyed sewer lines, contaminated freshwater supplies and downed power lines create the biggest health risks long after the tsunami waters recede. It is always a good idea to be equipped for any disaster with an evacuation plan for you and your family and an emergency preparedness kit.

Although "supermoons” are quite common – usually occurring every 14 months – Monday's will be the closest in quite some time and won't return to a similar distance until 2034. According to NASA, our planet's solitary companion will be just 356,509 kilometers from the surface of the Earth. That is some 27,891 kilometers closer than its average distance in the night sky. Should the weather permit a clear sky, eagle-eyed gazers will note a moon 14 percent bigger than its usual size and far brighter than its normal reflection due to the Earth being closer to the sun at this time of year. Although most may not notice much of a difference once the moon is at its highest point in the night sky, astronomers believe it will be apparent on the horizon. And it could be quite the spectacle. "When you look at the moon when it's rising, there is this optical illusion where it looks bigger," Mark Bailey, astronomer and emeritus director of the Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland, told AFP. Pascal Descamps, astronomer at the Paris Observatory, agrees. "If you want to try to photograph it, choose a location where you'll get some nice terrestrial feature in the foreground,” he suggests. "A well-known landmark such as a tower or a spire will provide a nice comparison, particularly if you stay back a bit and use a zoom or telephoto lens which will magnify both objects." Plenty of opportunities. Of course, if clouds happen to crowd Monday's sky there will be other opportunities to see the spectacle in full view. According to Noah Petro, deputy project scientist for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, the supermoon should be visible for a number of days. "I've been telling people to go out at night on either Sunday or Monday to see the supermoon,” he said. "The difference in distance from one night to the next will be very subtle, so if it's cloudy on Sunday, go out on Monday. Any time after sunset should be fine. Since the moon is full, it'll rise at nearly the same time as sunset, so I'd suggest that you head outside after sunset, or once it's dark and the moon is a bit higher in the sky. You don't have to stay up all night to see it, unless you really want to.” Tidal consequences. One of the most striking features of the moon is the gravitational effect it has on the Earth's oceans. Due to the elliptical nature of the moon's orbit of the Earth, the ocean levels tend to rise and fall in the form of tides and the patterns that they follow. Monday's supermoon should then suggest a higher tide, meaning possible minor flooding in part but most notably bigger waves throughout the world. While surfers may enjoy the larger waves and added brightness, should they choose to go out at night, the effects of a supermoon on tidal patterns has often been blamed for natural disasters. In 2011 NASA was forced to dismiss the theory that a tsunami and earthquake that hit Japan was due to an upcoming supermoon, while coastguards in the United Kingdom suggested that the lunar event was responsible for five fishing vessels running ashore off the coast of the Isle of Wight in the same month. "The effects on Earth from a supermoon are minor, and according to the most detailed studies by terrestrial seismologists and volcanologists, the combination of the moon being at its closest to Earth in its orbit, and being in its 'full moon' configuration (relative to the Earth and sun), should not affect the internal energy balance of the Earth since there are lunar tides every day," said Jim Garvin, chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, at the time. "The Earth has stored a tremendous amount of internal energy within its thin outer shell or crust, and the small differences in the tidal forces exerted by the moon (and sun) are not enough to fundamentally overcome the much larger forces within the planet due to convection (and other aspects of the internal energy balance that drives plate tectonics)."20161113193000http://www.news4jax.com/news/international/what-to-do-if-a-tsunami-strikes(CNN) - It begins with a roaring sound not dissimilar from a freight train or a Boeing 747 in takeoff.

Then, a wall of water, with an unimaginable force that can flatten an entire building in seconds. If you survive the initial blow, you now face an unrelenting pounding of wave after wave, and like a pinball machine, you are being battered by debris, uprooted trees and cars that share the same violent trajectory as you. Those who have lived through a tsunami describe an almost unsurvivable scenario. "The first wave just looked like a wall of white coming toward you, and the sound ... it was just screams everywhere and just the crashing sound. .. the water just kept coming and coming," one tsunami survivor told CNN. So how do people survive one of Mother Nature's most deadly forces? Get to higher ground. Tsunamis are giant waves triggered by anything that disrupts the ocean, including earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea, so the first sign may be a rumbling Earth, or a rapid rise or fall in ocean waters. Don't wait for a warning. Run. For people in low-lying, coastal areas, a tsunami could arrive just minutes after an earthquake, far too quickly for official warnings to be disseminated. "Similar to storm surge in a hurricane, if you are on the beach when a tsunami comes ashore, you would not survive it," said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. "The force of the water, as well as all the turbulence and currents within, would be too strong. A 6-10 foot tsunami, while it doesn't sound huge, would be extremely damaging, and can run ashore great distances, depending on the elevation of the coastline," Miller said. Too late to run. Now what? Sometimes it may be impossible to avoid a tsunami. If you are trapped or unable to evacuate to higher ground, your next step is to find a sturdy vertical refuge. This is not ideal as the structure itself could collapse, but if it is your only course of action, head to the highest possible point. In areas with a heightened threat of tsunami, you may see buildings or escape routes marked with the international symbol for tsunami, follow these. If you are swept up in a turbulent current, your best course of action is to cling to something that floats, such as a door or a tree trunk. "I was saved by holding onto the roof, but my wife was swept away," said one man who survived the deadly 2011 tsunami in Japan. Stay vigilant. Do not return to coastal areas until the tsunami threat is declared over by authorities. Pay close attention to your local alert system -- radio announcements, official websites, social media accounts and emergency cellphone alerts -- and heed the advice. Tsunamis can last for hours, so use common sense. During the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the most devastating on record, many people were killed when they returned to the beach to watch the retreating ocean exposing the seafloor. A rapidly receding ocean is a phenomenon that usually precedes a killer wave, according to NOAA. The aftermath. Check yourself and others for injuries. Give first aid to people who are injured or trapped as you may now be in an area temporarily inaccessible to emergency assistance. Do not re-enter buildings until they have been cleared for structural integrity. Tsunami waters, like floodwaters, can undermine a building's foundations and cause floors to crack or walls to collapse. Bodies, destroyed sewer lines, contaminated freshwater supplies and downed power lines create the biggest health risks long after the tsunami waters recede. It is always a good idea to be equipped for any disaster with an evacuation plan for you and your family and an emergency preparedness kit.

(AP Photo / Joe Morgan) WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Latest on a strong earthquake that struck New Zealand (all times local): 7:10 a.m. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key says at least two people were killed in the powerful earthquake that struck the country. Key did not provide any further details at a news conference Monday morning in Wellington, the capital. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight, 214 kilometers (132 miles) south of Wellington, where it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. 5:40 a.m. Authorities in New Zealand's capital are urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake. Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight. 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.

The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1:50 a.m. and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. Prime Minister John Key said at a news conference later Monday morning that the tsunami warnings were being downgraded to coastal warnings. 7:10 a.m. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key says at least two people were killed in the powerful earthquake that struck the country. Key did not provide any further details at a news conference Monday morning in Wellington, the capital. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. The magnitude 7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight, 214 kilometers (132 miles) south of Wellington, where it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. 5:40 a.m. Authorities in New Zealand's capital are urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake. Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings.

The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude 7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch. Copyright 2016 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Kaikoura is also the place where the penguins can be observed. A special penguin center is close to the beach and at risk too. "Tidal measurements from Geonet now indicate that a tsunami two metres or more has been recorded in Kaikoura, and indications are it will hit other parts of the South Island soon. Civil Defence is warning all residents of the coastal South Island, North Island and the Chatham Islands to move inland or to higher ground as soon as possible." Update 12:45 UTC : The bridge on Hapuku Rd in Kaikoura Flat is closed due to damage. Update 12:44 UTC : Tsunami news The tsunami threat is for the east coast of all New Zealand (including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham islands) MCDEM (@NZcivildefence) Update 12:41 UTC : In Christchurch November 13, 2016 , hotels and occupied buildings inthe CBD have been evacuated. Many people are standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they're fine. Some people are venturing back inside, because nobody seems to be enforcing the evacuations. ER: Christchurch is at about 90 km from the epicenter which explains that NO serious damage has been reported there as yet. Update 12:38 UTC : There are (mostly unconfirmed) reports of collapsed houses and even bridges (more will follow soon) Update 12:36 UTC : Based on the last massive earthquake in the same greater area, we expect a high number of moderate to very powerful aftershocks (which is confirmed by the many aftershocks so far). These aftershocks can go on for weeks with regular very strong shakes as part of it. Update 12:34 UTC : Tsunami gauges measured serious waves and the Kaikoura to Wellington coast is at risk. Update 12:28 UTC : The many fault lines in the area of today's earthquake. The region had also other massive earthquakes in the past. Update 12:17 UTC : Professor Max Wyss, who specializes in theoretical prognoses of injuries and fatalities expects : Injuries 20 to 200 and fatalities 10 to 100 (very uncertain based on too many different earthquake data) Update 12:15 UTC : Wellington : In Wellington, hundreds of people are on the streets as building alarms sound and fire trucks and police cars head around the CBD. Windows in some high-rise office buildings have smashed, while plaster and masonry appears to have fallen down from some buildings. Update 12:11 UTC : A tweet showing damage in Wellington (if true), at quite a distance from the epicenter. If the picture is a real one from this earthquake (to be confirmed) this doesn't look well for the morning and for the epicenter region. Cheers for the concern all, everyone's ok.

Important UPDATE 11:54 UTC : Local (to be trusted) GEONET reports the mainshock as a M6.6 earthquake at a depth of 16 km, still very dangerous but way below the originally internationally reported M7.4! Update 11:45 UTC : Stuff.co.nz writes that according to the local seismological agency, the thermal tourist town "Hanmer Springs" will be nearest to the epicenter. (http://hanmersprings.co.nz/pools) Update 11:43 UTC : Still NO direct information from the epicenter area. Update 11:43 UTC : USGS shaking maps. Update 11:39 UTC : A lot of moderate and even strong aftershocks. Update 11:34 UTC : A few remarks from the local New Zealand press : The quake was strongly felt in Christchurch, Wellington, Taranaki, Hamilton and Auckland. Power and phones were out in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast. In Nelson, resident Jo Davis grabbed her children and sheltered in a doorway as the quake seemed to "go on forever". Update 11:30 UTC : Based on the I HAVE FELT MAP from local GEONET so far, the shaking looks very strong to strong. Almost no felt reports from the direct epicenter area for 2 reasons Communications may be down in the direct epicenter area but also because the area is very sparsely populated. Update 11:26 UTC : An orange Tsunami alert has been edited by GDACS although most of the agencies are locating the epicenter below inland. Update 11:21 UTC : The shaking was well felt in the North Island too. Update 11:18 UTC : As it is dark in New Zealand at the moment, information of possible damage will only arrive slowly. Update 11:16 UTC : As you can see on the map below, the epicenter location is still very unreliable at this point. Depending on the exact location, the level of damage and eventual injuries will differ a lot. Update 11:14 UTC : The epicenter is located North of Christchurch in a less populated mountainous region, but due to the strength of the eartghquake will be nevertheless very dangerous. Update 11:13 UTC : ER believes that this earthquake is very dangerous for damage and possible fatalities.

New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.4 quake. In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. People evacuated from the Quest Hotel stand outside in Wellington, New Zealand after an earthquake based around Cheviot in the South island shook the capital, early Nov. 14, 2016. According to reports, a 7.4. earthquake has hit New Zealand overnight, triggering a tsunami warning for the east coast of the country. (Photo: Ross Setford, European Pressphoto Agency) The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

Civil Defence is scrambling to assess damage from the first, 7.5 magnitude earthquake centred near Hanmer Springs, which shook much of the country and was followed by a series of strong aftershocks. Tsunami activity has been detected in Kaikoura and Wellington, while St John is responding to reports of injuries in North Canterbury, including sending rescue helicopters to the area. What we know so far. It was centred near Hanmer Springs, magnitude 7.5 (upgraded from a 6.6), 16km deep and struck at 12.02am. Several major shakes hit afterwards, most in the Canterbury and the upper South Island. Civil Defence says a destructive tsunami was possible. It warned people in southern coastal areas and the east coast of both the North and South islands to take precautions and move away from the coast. Tsunami sirens went off from Northland to Christchurch. Wave activity was detected in Wellington and the South Island, including a tsunami two metres or more in Kaikoura, a wave in the north-eastern coast of the South Island, Civil Defence tweeted. People self-evacuated from New Brighton, in Christchurch, and central Wellington. People were evacuated from Marlborough. People in Lyall Bay, in Wellington, moved to higher ground. Dunedin civil defence declared a local state of emergency and evacuated people from low-lying areas. Houses were reported to be damaged in Kaikoura and chimneys down in Culverden. St John said they had reports of injuries in those areas and were sending rescue helicopters. There were power cuts in North Canterbury, from Kaikoura to Cheviot. The Hurunui District Council said Rotherham and Waiau were isolated by slips and damage to the bridge. GNS duty seismologist Anna Kaiser said the quake was "definitely" felt across the country.

The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. It struck in the early hours of Monday morning in Christchurch which was reduced to rubble by an earthquake just five years ago. The tsunami threat is for the east coast of all New Zealand including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham islands. Chef Tim Owen, 29, was at home in Halswell, a satellite town of Christchurch, when the earthquake hit. He said: "It went on for like a minute or so, which is quite long. It felt like swaying and like a wave. "We just got up from the couch and stood in the doorway. It does make you feel very anxious not knowing if it will get worse or when it may stop. "The thought of a tsunami is always scary. I have some friends that live right on the beach so have contacted them. We live about 25 minutes from the beach, it's not too far." The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency management tweeted: "Situation has changed - tsunami is possible. situation has changed - tsunami is possible.

Today's earthquake measured more powerfully on the Richter scale than 2011's 6.3 quake. Power lines and phone lines are said to be down, including emergency lines to police, fire and ambulance services. Others reported that the emergency number 111 was back up and running. Richard Bicknell tweeted this picture of bricks and rubble after the massive quake in New Zealand. Anthropology student Heather McMillan said her home shook “like jelly” when the earthquake struck as she was getting ready for bed, and she feared it was going to collapse. The 20-year-old told Mirror Online: “When it started it was really big so I thought it was going to be short but it kept going for a good few minutes and felt like the second floor was going to fall down. 6.something magnitude #earthquake did it's damage I'm on the 7th floor! I'm rekt! Alysa Jane (@alysajaney) November 13, 2016 “Very quickly you realise it's an earthquake because I’ve felt one before. “But this was a different level. I honestly thought it was going to last for 20 minutes or longer. “I live in the second storey of a flat and it was like a rolling feeling from the house. The aftershocks have felt like we're a ship at sea. ”She said the tremor lasted around five minutes but it felt like forever". She added: “I think it's one of those moments when you start thinking whether this is it? Like the big earthquake that's going to put Christchurch back into the place it was five years ago?” Heather said her flat did not suffer any damage, but her parents in Wellington were without power and had some belongings damaged as the earthquake shook their home. Patsy Knight told Mirror Online that aftershocks were still continuing 20 minutes after the quake. She said: "We're in Wellington and absolutely terrifying. Smashed glass everywhere, but thankfully all good. Not much sleep happening though, kids with us. Aftershocks continuously happening!" The earthquake was felt as far away as Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Hamilton. In Hamilton, Wayne Timmo woke to the kitchen blinds banging against the window and said the quake felt like a "long slow, rolling or almost rotating motion". He told Stuff.co.NZ : "The water in the neighbour's swimming pool was left sloshing around for about a minute and people woken by the quake came out onto the street to talk about it. "The cat has disappeared and the neighbours dog is upset." Kaitlin in Wellington posted a picture of her home, showing her possessions strewn around the room following the earthquake. In Nelson, resident Jo Davis grabbed her children and sheltered in a doorway as the quake seemed to "go on forever". She said it had a much longer, more rolling motion than a 2010 Canterbury quake she experienced. Davis said she was surprised there appeared to be no damage to the house. "It really shook for a long time." The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. Others took to social media to show pictures and videos of their devastated homes. Alysa Jane tweeted: "6.something magnitude earthquake did it's damage I'm on the 7th floor! I'm rekt!" Kavithya wrote: "That was a huge earthquake. Got evacuated out of our apartment building. Hope everyone affected by it are safe!" Cynthia Drescher, from Christchurch, said the earthquake lasted for three to four minutes. She said she was evacuated to a building rebuilt after it was destroyed in the 2011 quake. Cynthia described aftershocks she felt as "freaky". Well-wishers from around the world sent their best wishes to the stricken country which has been devastated by earthquakes over the years. Arnoud Beckers, from Holland, wrote: "Hope everybody is safe in the beautiful city of Christchurch. Again hit by a huge quake." Islanders could face aftershocks which often follow the main quake. They can cause further building damage and falling debris. A Christchurch Police spokeswoman told Stuff.co.NZ they hadn't received any calls about damage. "Just be careful on the roads in case there's damage," she said. St John Ambulance says they have no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre (EOC)", they said.

The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. It struck in the early hours of Monday morning in Christchurch which was reduced to rubble by an earthquake just five years ago. The tsunami threat is for the east coast of all New Zealand including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham islands. Chef Tim Owen, 29, was at home in Halswell, a satellite town of Christchurch, when the earthquake hit. He said: "It went on for like a minute or so, which is quite long. It felt like swaying and like a wave. "We just got up from the couch and stood in the doorway. It does make you feel very anxious not knowing if it will get worse or when it may stop. "The thought of a tsunami is always scary. I have some friends that live right on the beach so have contacted them. We live about 25 minutes from the beach, it's not too far." The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency management tweeted: "Situation has changed - tsunami is possible. Me: almost asleep Giant earthquake: LMAO professor kaitlin (@kaiitlin) November 13, 2016 "People near the coast in the south island should move to high ground or inland." Today's earthquake measured more powerfully on the Richter scale than 2011's 6.3 quake. Power lines and phone lines are said to be down, including emergency lines to police, fire and ambulance services. Others reported that the emergency number 111 was back up and running. Richard Bicknell tweeted this picture of bricks and rubble after the massive quake in New Zealand. Anthropology student Heather McMillan said her home shook “like jelly” when the earthquake struck as she was getting ready for bed, and she feared it was going to collapse. The 20-year-old told Mirror Online: “When it started it was really big so I thought it was going to be short but it kept going for a good few minutes and felt like the second floor was going to fall down. 6.something magnitude #earthquake did it's damage I'm on the 7th floor! I'm rekt! Alysa Jane (@alysajaney) November 13, 2016 “Very quickly you realise it's an earthquake because I’ve felt one before. “But this was a different level. I honestly thought it was going to last for 20 minutes or longer. “I live in the second storey of a flat and it was like a rolling feeling from the house. The aftershocks have felt like we're a ship at sea. ”She said the tremor lasted around five minutes but it felt like forever". She added: “I think it's one of those moments when you start thinking whether this is it? Like the big earthquake that's going to put Christchurch back into the place it was five years ago?” Heather said her flat did not suffer any damage, but her parents in Wellington were without power and had some belongings damaged as the earthquake shook their home. Patsy Knight told Mirror Online that aftershocks were still continuing 20 minutes after the quake. She said: "We're in Wellington and absolutely terrifying. Smashed glass everywhere, but thankfully all good. Not much sleep happening though, kids with us. Aftershocks continuously happening!" The earthquake was felt as far away as Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Hamilton. In Hamilton, Wayne Timmo woke to the kitchen blinds banging against the window and said the quake felt like a "long slow, rolling or almost rotating motion". He told Stuff.co.NZ : "The water in the neighbour's swimming pool was left sloshing around for about a minute and people woken by the quake came out onto the street to talk about it. "The cat has disappeared and the neighbours dog is upset." Kaitlin in Wellington posted a picture of her home, showing her possessions strewn around the room following the earthquake. In Nelson, resident Jo Davis grabbed her children and sheltered in a doorway as the quake seemed to "go on forever". She said it had a much longer, more rolling motion than a 2010 Canterbury quake she experienced. Davis said she was surprised there appeared to be no damage to the house. "It really shook for a long time." The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. Others took to social media to show pictures and videos of their devastated homes. Alysa Jane tweeted: "6.something magnitude earthquake did it's damage I'm on the 7th floor! I'm rekt!" Kavithya wrote: "That was a huge earthquake. Got evacuated out of our apartment building. Hope everyone affected by it are safe!"

Many people are standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they're fine. Some people are venturing back inside, because nobody seems to be enforcing the evacuations. ER: Christchurch is at about 90 km from the epicenter which explains that NO serious damage has been reported there as yet. Update 12:38 UTC : There are (mostly unconfirmed) reports of collapsed houses and even bridges (more will follow soon) Update 12:36 UTC : Based on the last massive earthquake in the same greater area, we expect a high number of moderate to very powerful aftershocks (which is confirmed by the many aftershocks so far). These aftershocks can go on for weeks with regular very strong shakes as part of it. Update 12:34 UTC : Tsunami gauges measured serious waves and the Kaikoura to Wellington coast is at risk. Update 12:28 UTC : The many fault lines in the area of today's earthquake. The region had also other massive earthquakes in the past. Update 12:17 UTC : Professor Max Wyss, who specializes in theoretical prognoses of injuries and fatalities expects : Injuries 20 to 200 and fatalities 10 to 100 (very uncertain based on too many different earthquake data) Update 12:15 UTC : Wellington : In Wellington, hundreds of people are on the streets as building alarms sound and fire trucks and police cars head around the CBD. Windows in some high-rise office buildings have smashed, while plaster and masonry appears to have fallen down from some buildings. Update 12:11 UTC : A tweet showing damage in Wellington (if true), at quite a distance from the epicenter. If the picture is a real one from this earthquake (to be confirmed) this doesn't look well for the morning and for the epicenter region. Cheers for the concern all, everyone's ok. Here's the kitchen... Richard Bicknell (@dickbicknell) November 13, 2016 Update 12:02 UTC : Updated LIVE "I have Felt It" MAP from New-Zealand Geonet http://www.geonet.org.nz/quakes/region/newzealand/2016p858000. Important UPDATE 11:54 UTC : Local (to be trusted) GEONET reports the mainshock as a M6.6 earthquake at a depth of 16 km, still very dangerous but way below the originally internationally reported M7.4! Update 11:45 UTC : Stuff.co.nz writes that according to the local seismological agency, the thermal tourist town "Hanmer Springs" will be nearest to the epicenter. (http://hanmersprings.co.nz/pools) Update 11:43 UTC : Still NO direct information from the epicenter area. Update 11:43 UTC : USGS shaking maps. Update 11:39 UTC : A lot of moderate and even strong aftershocks. Update 11:34 UTC : A few remarks from the local New Zealand press : The quake was strongly felt in Christchurch, Wellington, Taranaki, Hamilton and Auckland. Power and phones were out in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast. In Nelson, resident Jo Davis grabbed her children and sheltered in a doorway as the quake seemed to "go on forever". Update 11:30 UTC : Based on the I HAVE FELT MAP from local GEONET so far, the shaking looks very strong to strong. Almost no felt reports from the direct epicenter area for 2 reasons Communications may be down in the direct epicenter area but also because the area is very sparsely populated. Update 11:26 UTC : An orange Tsunami alert has been edited by GDACS although most of the agencies are locating the epicenter below inland. Update 11:21 UTC : The shaking was well felt in the North Island too. Update 11:18 UTC : As it is dark in New Zealand at the moment, information of possible damage will only arrive slowly. Update 11:16 UTC : As you can see on the map below, the epicenter location is still very unreliable at this point. Depending on the exact location, the level of damage and eventual injuries will differ a lot. Update 11:14 UTC : The epicenter is located North of Christchurch in a less populated mountainous region, but due to the strength of the eartghquake will be nevertheless very dangerous. Update 11:13 UTC : ER believes that this earthquake is very dangerous for damage and possible fatalities.

New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.4 quake. In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. People evacuated from the Quest Hotel stand outside in Wellington, New Zealand after an earthquake based around Cheviot in the South island shook the capital, early Nov. 13, 2016. According to reports, a 7.4. earthqauke has hit New Zealand overnight, triggering a tsunami warning for the east coast of the country. (Photo: Ross Setford, European Pressphoto Agency) The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

The magnitude-7.8 quake struck the South Island early Monday, just after midnight. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1:50 a.m. and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. Prime Minister John Key said at a news conference later Monday morning that the tsunami warnings were being downgraded to coastal warnings. 7:10 a.m. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key says at least two people were killed in the powerful earthquake that struck the country. Key did not provide any further details at a news conference Monday morning in Wellington, the capital. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight, 214 kilometers (132 miles) south of Wellington, where it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. 5:40 a.m. Authorities in New Zealand's capital are urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake. Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight. 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away.

New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicenter, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. "Everyone seems OK here," he told RNZ. "There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened." Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. RNZ said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude. In 2011, Israeli backpacker Ofer Mizrahi, 24, was one of over 180 people killed in a 6.3 earthquake in the same city. The backpacker's friends, who were traveling with him, informed his parents that he was killed when a boulder smashed into a car he was traveling in. Mizrahi was reportedly with three other Israelis at the time when the earthquake struck. Local news reports claimed that when Mizrahi's body was recovered, he was found with at least five passports. The circumstances of his death spurred reports that he was part of a ring of Israeli spies trying to hack New Zealand's national information network. Shemi Tzur, Israel's Ambassador to New Zealand at the time, dismissed the charge as "science fiction."20161113145600https://www.yahoo.com/news/latest-powerful-zealand-quake-causes-local-tsunami-131509428.html?ref=gsA large fissure runs along Kaikoura Road about two hours north of Christchurch Monday, Nov. 14, 2016, after a major earthquake struck New Zealand's south Island early Monday.

(AP Photo / Joe Morgan) WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Latest on a strong earthquake that has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand (all times local): 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.20161113173900http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/731764/Christchurch-earthquake-New-Zealand-north-island-richter-scale?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-express-news-showbiz+%28Daily+Express+%3A%3A+News+%2F+Showbiz+Feed%29| UPDATED: 17:52, Sun, Nov 13, 2016 SIMON OSBORNE Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region that bore the epicentre of the quake, some 91 km northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings.text/html2016-11-13T18:53+0100expressenexpress-68dd537436af38ae90dbba1e9fa3fc7eCivilProtection_generalET_TsunamiFRET_TsunamiESEchoNaturalDisastersET_Man_Made_Disaster_OrdinaryENET_TsunamiROCivilProtectionEarthquakesECCAIRSAviationAlert_2ET_TsunamiENSecurityIndustryET_EarthquakeFRET_Humanitarian_CrisisROET_EarthquakePTET_SPORTFRCPSI-NaturalDisastersET_Man_Made_DisasterENET_Man_Made_Disaster_ExtraordinaryENET_TsunamiPTArgentinaNewZealandECCAIRSNewshttp://cdn.images.express.co.uk/favicon.icoCity CouncilJohn AmbulanceUS Geological SurveyEmergencyChris HillRadio New ZealandChristchurchRosarioOSBORNEWellingtonNorth IslandKaikouraTakakaWellington CitySarahMacleanGisborneCulverdenRichardCheviot-20| UPDATED: 17:52, Sun, Nov 13, 2016 SIMON OSBORNE Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region that bore the epicentre of the quake, some 91 km northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. The Civil Defence Ministry warned that waves of up to five metres remained a risk for several hours, and confirmed the first waves of the tsunami had already hit the east coast of the South Island. Police have also confirmed two people have died in the natural disaster so far, one believed to have been from a heart attack. GETTY A powerful earthquake has struck New Zealand sparking fears of a tsunami A spokesman siad: “One casualty has been reported at a collapsed property in Kaikora. Police are also trying to access a property at Mt Lyford north of Christchurch where a further casualty has been reported, which is believed to be a fatality.” People living in coastal areas have been advised to head for higher ground or get as far inland as possible. Officials also warned people to stay away from at-risk areas and not to return until the all-clear had been given. Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence, said: "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been. "Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming may be bigger than what has come before." St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicentre of the quake. Incident Controller Dion Rosario said: "We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura. However, at this stage we do not have specifics." Police said they were investigating reports of a collapsed building in Kaikoura. A spoikesman for the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management said: "The first tsunami waves have arrived but it is too early to know what damage or casualties there may have been. "Further waves should be expected and may be larger or more dangerous. New Zealanders should stay off the beaches, stay out of the water, and not go sightseeing. "People are encouraged to keep themselves informed and follow the advice of their local civil defence groups as the situation develops around the country. "If you have been advised to evacuate, follow your local tsunami evacuation procedures."

CricInfo An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the US Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres (six feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (six feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand's Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. USGS said the quake was centered 91km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicenter, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. "Everyone seems OK here," he told RNZ. "There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened." Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated.

The first event, a 7.8-magnitude quake, struck just after midnight Monday near the coastal community of Kaikoura, some 93 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch, the US Geological Survey reported. It triggered waves of 2.49 meters (8 feet) above usual tide levels, the highest he has seen in his 38 years in New Zealand, Philip Duncan of Weather Watch New Zealand said. An initial tsunami warning was lifted but temblors continued Monday afternoon. A 6.2-magnitude quake struck around 1:30 p.m. 39 kilometers west-southwest of Kaikoura, further north of Christchurch. New Zealand is a South Pacific nation of islands, the two largest being the North and South islands, which are home to most of the population. Aftershocks from South Island reverberated all the way to Wellington, the country's capital on the North Island, where residents were told to stay indoors Monday. The New Zealand Defense Force posted aerial images of a huge landslide in the northern part of the South Island, which blocked the road from Christchurch to Kaikoura. "It is clear from the photos taken by our personnel that the major route from Christchurch to Kaikoura is impassable, Air Commodore Darryn Webb, Acting Commander Joint Forces New Zealand, said. "So is the road from Kaikoura to Hanmer Springs and the one from Blenheim to Kaikoura," The Marlborough government emergency services Twitter account tweeted around 4 p.m. (11.00 p.m. ET), that a dam on the Clarence River had breached and a "large wall of water" was "heading downstream." Authorities urged residents to seek higher ground. The regional government also confirmed that a group of kayakers who had previously been feared lost on the river was found and evacuated. "Other groups are understood to be in the area, a well-known whitewater rafting location, however it is understood they are well above the danger area," a media release states. 'It's going to be a long night' In Christchurch, memories of a devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 are still fresh for many. That quake killed 185 people and injured thousands, and reduced swaths of the city's historic area to rubble. "The land has been very peaceful for many, many months. So this is bringing back all the rare memories," said Chet Wah, owner of Designer Cottage B&B in Christchurch. "I just checked with all the guests. They are alright. It is scary. It's going to be a long night." Christchurch, on the South Island's eastern coast, has a population of more than 340,000 people, the most recent census shows. Powerful aftershocks. Images on social media showed shattered windows, toppled grocery items on the floor of a supermarket and water sloshing back and forth in swimming pools from different parts of the country. Mark A'Court, owner of the Fresh Choice in Nelson City, posted security video footage on Facebook showing wine bottles falling from shelves at his store. A photo of a road with a deep, wide crack down its middle served as sobering evidence of the temblor's force. "This is the strongest [earthquake] I've ever felt," Tamara Hunt said. She was with her husband at their home in Whanganui when the earthquake struck. "It started off so small, like the cat moving in the bed, but then it started building and I had to run to the door. Stuff in the house was falling over and the doors were swaying really bad," she said. "Then we decided to get out, and that's when we saw our pool had lost a lot of water. The earthquake went on for two minutes." The South Island has been hit by a flurry of aftershocks, according to the USGS and New Zealand's Geonet service, some with a magnitude above 6.0. Officials from the island's second-largest town, Dunedin, called a state of emergency there. Life in a 'collision zone' The USGS initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.4 at a depth of just 10 kilometers -- shallow enough to cause serious destruction to the immediate surrounding area. It later revised the quake strength to 7.8, but changed its depth to 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) , giving more of a buffer between the epicenter and the Earth's surface. New Zealand is regularly hit by earthquakes, because it sits in a "collision zone" between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. It is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped belt around the ocean's edges where many earthquakes and volcano eruptions occur.

Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight. 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch. © 2016 Cox Media Group.20161114054200http://www.cornwalllive.com/cornishman-caught-in-new-zealand-earthquake-says-it-was-like-a-rollercoaster/story-29893056-detail/story.htmlA Cornishman caught up in the New Zealand earthquake has said it was like "your house being on a rollercoaster".

Richard Wilson from Bodmin now lives in Nelson, about 150 miles from epicentre of the quake, having moved there 13 years ago with his wife and son. A quake measuring 6.3 in magnitude hit New Zealand's South Island hours after an initial 7.5 quake killed two people. "We were woken by our son shouting out to us. We got out of bed, went to his room and that's when the shaking started getting pretty violent," he told BBC Radio Cornwall. "It was like being in your house on a rollercoaster. There was lots of sideways movement and we had to stand in door frame and then sit down and ride it out." The scene in Christchurch in 2011. The family's first experience of a large quake was in Christchurch back in 2010. "The magnitude of that was less but it was more violent. This had 50 times more energy but didn't feel quite as violent but brought back all those memories and experience of living through that earthquake.

You live in New Zealand which is known as the shakey isles and you come here with the knowledge it could be a volcanic eruption or an earthquake." The first quake is reported to be the strongest to hit New Zealand since 2009 when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit a remote area of the South Island.

As of 9 a.m. ET Sunday, no tsunami watches or warnings have been issued for the United States. The magnitude 7.8-earthquake struck near the Christchurch area of the South Island of New Zealand. The earthquake hit the island nation around 6 a.m. ET Sunday, or shortly after Midnight on Monday New Zealand time. Two people died in the incident. Weather officials in New Zealand confirmed that a large wave hit the South Island around 8 a.m. ET. Officials were encouraging residents near the east coast of New Zealand to seek higher ground. Based off the Tsunami Center's forecast, the threat of a tsunami is supposed to be contained in the South Pacific. US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Christchurch this weekend on his way to Antarctica. He had reportedly left New Zealand shortly before the giant earthquake. Copyright 2016 Scripps Media, Inc.

The first event, a 7.8-magnitude quake, struck just after midnight Monday near the coastal community of Kaikoura, some 93 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch, the US Geological Survey reported. It triggered waves of 2.49 meters (8 feet) above usual tide levels, the highest he has seen in his 38 years in New Zealand, Philip Duncan of Weather Watch New Zealand said. An initial tsunami warning was lifted but temblors continued Monday afternoon. A 6.2-magnitude quake struck around 1:30 p.m. 39 kilometers west-southwest of Kaikoura, further north of Christchurch. New Zealand is a South Pacific nation of islands, the two largest being the North and South islands, which are home to most of the population. Aftershocks from South Island reverberated all the way to Wellington, the country's capital on the North Island, where residents were told to stay indoors Monday. The New Zealand Defense Force posted aerial images of a huge landslide in the northern part of the South Island, which blocked the road from Christchurch to Kaikoura. "It is clear from the photos taken by our personnel that the major route from Christchurch to Kaikoura is impassable, Air Commodore Darryn Webb, Acting Commander Joint Forces New Zealand, said. "So is the road from Kaikoura to Hanmer Springs and the one from Blenheim to Kaikoura," The Marlborough government emergency services Twitter account tweeted around 4 p.m. (11.00 p.m. ET), that a dam on the Clarence River had breached and a "large wall of water" was "heading downstream." Authorities urged residents to seek higher ground. The regional government also confirmed that a group of kayakers who had previously been feared lost on the river was found and evacuated. "Other groups are understood to be in the area, a well-known whitewater rafting location, however it is understood they are well above the danger area," a media release states. 'It's going to be a long night' In Christchurch, memories of a devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 are still fresh for many. That quake killed 185 people and injured thousands, and reduced swaths of the city's historic area to rubble. "The land has been very peaceful for many, many months. So this is bringing back all the rare memories," said Chet Wah, owner of Designer Cottage B&B in Christchurch. "I just checked with all the guests. They are alright. It is scary. It's going to be a long night." Christchurch, on the South Island's eastern coast, has a population of more than 340,000 people, the most recent census shows. Powerful aftershocks. Images on social media showed shattered windows, toppled grocery items on the floor of a supermarket and water sloshing back and forth in swimming pools from different parts of the country. Mark A'Court, owner of the Fresh Choice in Nelson City, posted security video footage on Facebook showing wine bottles falling from shelves at his store. A photo of a road with a deep, wide crack down its middle served as sobering evidence of the temblor's force. "This is the strongest [earthquake] I've ever felt," Tamara Hunt said. She was with her husband at their home in Whanganui when the earthquake struck. "It started off so small, like the cat moving in the bed, but then it started building and I had to run to the door. Stuff in the house was falling over and the doors were swaying really bad," she said. "Then we decided to get out, and that's when we saw our pool had lost a lot of water. The earthquake went on for two minutes." The South Island has been hit by a flurry of aftershocks, according to the USGS and New Zealand's Geonet service, some with a magnitude above 6.0. Officials from the island's second-largest town, Dunedin, called a state of emergency there. Life in a 'collision zone' The USGS initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.4 at a depth of just 10 kilometers -- shallow enough to cause serious destruction to the immediate surrounding area. It later revised the quake strength to 7.8, but changed its depth to 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) , giving more of a buffer between the epicenter and the Earth's surface. New Zealand is regularly hit by earthquakes, because it sits in a "collision zone" between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. It is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped belt around the ocean's edges where many earthquakes and volcano eruptions occur.20161114071500http://www.rte.ie/news/2016/1113/831347-christchurch/A tsunami warning has been issued for southern coastal areas of New Zealand after an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck 91 kilometres north-northeast of the city of Christchurch.

Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. New Zealand's national civil defence organisation, which issued the warning, advised people to move inland and to higher ground. The statement said tsunami activity could continue for several hours. A tsunami is possible. Anyone near the east coast of the south island should move to high ground MCDEM (@NZcivildefence) November 13, 2016 However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a warning following the quake and there were no immediate reports of casualties. "Based on all available data a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected," the center reported. The New Zealand government's GeoNet website said the quake was "felt widely" throughout the country and warned citizens to watch out for aftershocks. Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, said the shaking lasted a "long" time. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up," she told AFP. She said there was no sign of damage on her street and the power was still on, adding that she was worried about towns and villages closer to the epicentre. "We're getting aftershocks at the moment. We're going to stock up on water supplies just in case." In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. In February 2011, a 6.3 earthquake left 185 people dead in the South Island city of Christhurch. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.20161113140000http://newsok.com/new-zealand-witness-the-whole-building-was-swaying/article/feed/1111858?custom_click=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+newsok%2Fhome+%28NewsOK.com+RSS+-+Home%29By Angela Dewan, Emanuella Grinberg and Donie O'Sullivan, CNN Published: November 13, 2016 5:36 PM CDT Updated: November 13, 2016 10:53 PM CDT A series of powerful earthquakes jolted New Zealand's South Island Monday, triggering a tsunami and sending aftershocks across the country that left at least two dead, officials said.text/html2016-11-14T06:30+0100newsokennewsok-ce22fd4732a342651f0d287246a512d5ET_TsunamiFRET_TsunamiESNaturalDisastersET_TsunamiROEarthquakesmdmaseizureET_TsunamiENET_SPORTFRCPSI-NaturalDisastersNewZealandhttp://newsok.com/favicon.ico?v=2FacebookUS Geological SurveyRadio New ZealandChristchurchDunedinWellingtonHuntPhilipKaikouraPacificBlenheimDuncanHanmerSullivanAngelaDonieWebbWellingtonSpringsNorth IslandTamaraNelson CityWahThe SouthClarence-4By Angela Dewan, Emanuella Grinberg and Donie O'Sullivan, CNN Published: November 13, 2016 5:36 PM CDT Updated: November 13, 2016 10:53 PM CDT A series of powerful earthquakes jolted New Zealand's South Island Monday, triggering a tsunami and sending aftershocks across the country that left at least two dead, officials said.

PHOTO: REUTERS. WELLINGTON: A powerful earthquake and series of aftershocks shook New Zealand early on Monday, killing at least two people and prompting a tsunami warning that sent thousands fleeing to higher ground. Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region at the epicentre of the 7.8-magnitude quake, some 91 km north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. Prime Minister John Key told a dawn news conference in capital Wellington, where the quake was also felt strongly, that two people had been killed. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. “It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington,” Key told reporters, although he stopped short of calling a national emergency. “There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure.” Emergency officials were meeting later on Monday morning, added Key. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslips. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city. The first tremor, just 23km deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3-magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand’s Geonet measured Monday’s quake at magnitude 7.5, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active ‘Ring of Fire’, a 40,000km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90% of the world’s earthquakes occur within this region. 6.2-magnitude quake hits Argentina. A strong 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit northwestern Argentina on Sunday as well, the US Geological Survey said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The quake, at a depth of 100km, struck shortly after 1400 GMT about 16 miles north of the city Chilecito in the South American nation’s La Rioja province. The country’s seismic authority also reported three smaller earthquakes Sunday. The quake near the border with Chile follows a 6.4-magnitude earthquake of ‘great intensity’ earlier this month in central Chile. Published in The Express Tribune , November 14 th , 2016.

According to US Geological Survey, the earthquake generated a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island. All members of the Pakistan cricket team are safe in Nelson after an earthquake of high intensity hit New Zealand, team manager Wasim Bari has confirmed, "Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake. The whole room began to shake. We were on the sixth and seventh floor, and evacuated immediately. The hotel staff was very helpful. We are all safe," the former Pakistan wicketkeeper said. Women cricket team skipper Sana Mir tweeted about the safety of the players in New Zealand. Tsunami warning. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. RNZ said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.20161113151900http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/4290968/new-zealand-earthquake-hundreds-of-aftershocks-pepper-north-and-south-islands/?cs=5The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area.text/html2016-11-14T06:48+0100illawarramercuryenillawarramercury-779423d5de27443d760ad83f6f20640aET_EarthquakeFRESGeopoliticsNaturalDisastersET_EarthquakePTET_SPORTFRCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesET_EarthquakeROSanctionSuspensionVanuatuSolomonIslandsAustraliaNewZealandACPACP-Pacifichttp://www.illawarramercury.com.au//nnstatic-a.akamaihd.net/s/1478562850/sites/illawarra-mercury/ico/favicon.icoThe AustralianUnited States Geological SurveyCookChristchurchVanuatuMarlboroughCanterburySolomon IslandsNorthNew ZealandFairfaxPlatePacificMoreLikelyMediaAustraliaCaroline-3The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area."

He said it was unlikely there were two separate quakes but that, as the earth's crust ripped, seismologists can record movement at different locations. "We put a dot on a map and call it the epicentre and give it a number but of course it's more complex than that," he said. Mr Jaksa said an earthquake of this size had an impact zone of about 150 to 180 kilometres. "It's way too far away to affect Australia," he said.

"From our measurements it seems this one started onshore about 15 kilometres underground and ruptured the crust from west to east in a slightly north-easterly direction." GeoNet released an initial report of expected likely scenarios. Scenario 1 (Very likely): a normal aftershock sequence over the next few months. This means gradually diminishing size and frequency of seismic events. Scenario 2 (Likely): Possible rupture earthquake of magnitude 6 in North Canterbury and/or offshore. Scenario 3 (Unlikely): Another large earthquake above magnitude 7 within a month in the Marlborough and Cook Strait regions. GeoNet measured the quake at a magnitude of 7.5, although the United States Geological Survey said it was of a 7.8 magnitude and Geoscience Australia said the event was of a 7.9 magnitude. "There are a number of ways we can look at an earthquake," Mr Jaksa said. He said GeoNet relied on measuring close readings, which can "saturate" the measurement devices causing what he called "clipping". The first measurements from an earthquake are the "p-waves", which are compression waves travelling through the earth, much like sound waves. Mr Jaksa said these dispersion waves allow detection of a quake's location and an initial estimate of its size. Following the "p-waves" seismologists measure "s-waves", which are slower moving shear waves travelling perpendicular to the direction of the p-waves. Seismologists then measure even slower surface waves that shake the crust in rolling waves allowing a better understanding of the event. Mr Jaksa said GeoNet relied on more localised measurements, whereas Geoscience Australia incorporated more longer-period waves. USGS uses a similar method, explaining why the US and Australian agencies have issued similar magnitudes for the event. He said the NZ measurement was more like the older Richter scale, which measured amplitudes of seismic waves. The current scales incorporate measurements of earth movement. Ms Little said that GeoNet's use of local stations gave it a better ability to locate the epicentre and determine whether it was one or two seismic events.

Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the country's South Island just after midnight, with the epicentre recording 57 miles north-northeast of the eastern city of Christchurch. Shortly afterwards a two-metre high tsunami was recorded in Kaikoura on the east coast of the South Island, with smaller but “very dangerous” waves later hitting the coast near Wellington, according to local weather site The Civil Defence authority advised South Island residents living on the east coast and those living on the nearby Chatham Islands to move to higher ground. A 6.2 earthquake later struck northwestern Argentina , but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Helicopters with medical and rescue personnel are being sent near the epicentre of the quake, where it opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. St John's Ambulance Dion Rosario said in a statement: “We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura. “However, at this stage we do not have specifics.” In Wellington, 200 kilometres from where the earthquake struck, residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes, and was followed by a number of strong aftershocks.

Police continue to remind members of the public to drop, cover and hold during any subsequent earthquake. A large crack runs along Kaikoura Road about two hours north of Christchurch, after a major earthquake struck New Zealand (AP) “There is a tsunami warning to the east coast of the North and South Islands. Police advise the public in these areas to get to higher ground or go as far inland as possible. Wellington residents should avoid the beaches and waterways.” The earthquake comes five years after a 6.3 quake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. It was said to be one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. Memorial plaques mark the spot where each of the 2011 quake victims died, and the city's cathedral in the main square has been left half-ruined after it was deemed too dangerous to repair.

That's months of work,"-17Strong aftershocks continued to shake the country on Monday, rattling the nerves of exhausted residents, many of whom had spent a sleepless night huddled outside after fleeing to higher ground to avoid the tsunami waves. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the South Island just after midnight on Sunday in a mostly rural area dotted with small towns. Near the epicentre, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and sparked landslides. But New Zealand was largely spared the devastation it saw five years ago when a deadly earthquake struck the same region. Sunday's quake caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north. It was also strongly felt to the south in the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt Lyford, a nearby ski resort. Several other people had reportedly suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Prime Minister John Key flew over the destruction in Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. Cars could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. "It's just utter devastation. ... That's months of work," Mr Key told acting civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He estimated the clean-up would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to Kaikoura on Tuesday. The prime minister said waves of about two metres hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100% sure," he said. Mr Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because New Zealand's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation. The quake completely cut off road access to Kaikoura, said resident Terry Thompson, who added that electricity and most phones were also down in the town of 2,000, a popular destination for tourists taking part in whale-watching expeditions. He was out of town but managed to reach his wife by mobile phone during the night. "She said the glass exploded right out of the double ranch-slider," he said. "The neighbour's chimney was gone, there were breakages and things smashed everywhere." The main road to Kaikoura was blocked in places by landslides, and police were working to airlift out a few tourists stranded in their campervans to the north and south of the town. Kaikoura suffered "major infrastructure" damage in the quake, the Marlborough Emergency Management Group said. The earthquake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists on to the streets as hotels were evacuated. New Zealand, with a population of 4.7 million, sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. The quake brought back memories of the magnitude 6.3 one that struck Christchurch in 2011 and destroyed much of the central area in one of New Zealand's worst disasters. The latest earthquake was stronger but its epicentre was deeper and much further from major urban areas. Location, depth and other factors beyond magnitude all contribute to the destructive power of an earthquake. It was centred 57 miles north-east of Christchurch, according to the US Geological Survey. The USGS initially estimated it had a magnitude of 7.4 before revising it to 7.8. It said the quake struck at a depth of 14 miles, after initially putting the depth at six miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they are shallow.20161114100700http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/casualties-new-zealand-earthquake-a7415146.htmlIndications have emerged of possible casualties from the powerful earthquake that hit New Zealand early on Monday, a government minister has said.

Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee reportedly confirmed the first casualties from the 7.8 earthquake in the town of Kaikoura on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, but added that the details were unclear. The earthquake hit the country's South Island at around 12am on Monday (11:02 GMT Sunday), with the epicentre recorded 57 miles north-northeast of Christchurch on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. Shortly after the earthquake hit a two-metre high tsunami was recorded in Kaikoura on the east coast of the South Island, with smaller but “very dangerous” waves later hitting the coast near Wellington, according to local weather site A large earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 struck northwestern Argentina hour later, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Local media reported emergency services were searching for a missing person in a collapsed house. A second person who had been thought missing in the building was found alive. The roads to Kaikoura were cut and telephone services in the area were down, but ambulance services said they were trying to get their command unit to the town from Christchurch because of injury reports. It comes five years after a 6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. It is said to be one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage.

Text by Latest update : 2016-11-13. NEWS WIRES An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami. ’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand’s Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. quake USGS said the quake was centred 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city’s southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. (REUTERS) Date created : 2016-11-13.

New Zealand's Civil Defence issued a tsunami alert, warning of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and advising residents on the east coast of the North, South and Chatham Islands to seek higher ground immediately. Waves of up to three to five metres could be possible in areas close to the epicentre for up to two hours, the warning said. The powerful quake hit just after midnight (local time), with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings more than 200 kilometres away in the capital, Wellington. The USGS revised up its original measurement of the quake's strength from magnitude-7.4 to 7.8. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had already been recorded in the North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. Civil Defence tweeted: "The first wave may not be the largest. Waves may continue for several hours." The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometres north of the quake's epicentre, power was knocked out in some places, with windows smashed and chimneys damaged. Radio New Zealand said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess for damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as magnitude-6.1. Earthquake 'scarier than normal' ABC journalist Tom Maddocks was staying in Christchurch, the biggest city on the South Island, at the time and was evacuated from a hostel in the area. He said the coastal suburb of New Brighton, some 10 kilometres from Christchurch, had been evacuated. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicentre, said officials had gone door-to-door evacuating residents. "Everyone seems OK here. There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened," he told Radio New Zealand. Australian journalist Gemma Snowdon, who is living just north of Christchurch, told the ABC the tremor, which New Zealand's Geonet initially measured at magnitude-6.6 before revising it up to 7.5, woke her from her sleep. "I ran outside with my housemates and we quickly realised what was going on and the ground just shook and shook and shook and it seemed never-ending," she said. Snowdon said the situation was "scarier than normal". "I have been hearing sirens and alarms going off throughout the city. I think everyone is a bit shaken up by this," she said. "[Earthquakes] are a common occurrence but this one was particularly long and protracted." The quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they are shallow.

The jolt, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the quake-prone South Pacific nation, hit just after midnight Monday near the South Island coastal town of Kaikoura. As dawn broke there was scant information from many nearby rural villages, which were isolated by landslips and fractured telephone communications as strong aftershocks continued. Prime Minister John Key confirmed two people had died and said “we cannot rule out” that number will rise. Police were trying to reach the scene of one fatality at a remote property 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of Christchurch while another person died in a historic homestead which collapsed at Kaikoura. “At this point we are unable to give precise details of what caused those fatalities,” Key said, adding that communication problems made it difficult to give an accurate assessment. With roads blocked, a helicopter was taking a search and rescue team to Kaikoura, where aerial television footage showed huge landslips and at least one home destroyed. Key said military choppers had also been drafted in check the scale of destruction. “As soon as we can get a much better assessment of the actual damage then we can work out the next steps,” he said. Soon after the earthquake, tsunami warning sirens were activated in South Island coastal towns and along the east coast of the North Island, with police and emergency workers going door to door to evacuate seaside properties. The ministry of civil defence, responsible for emergency management in new zealand, initially warned of a “destructive tsunami” with waves of up to five metres (16 feet). The first waves were measured around two metres and four hours later authorities downgraded the warning, but said risks remained. The earthquake struck at 12:02am Monday (1102 GMT Sunday) and was 23 kilometres deep, the US Geological Survey said, putting the epicentre in the South Island’s North Canterbury region. It ignited painful memories for residents in nearby Christchurch, which was devastated five years ago by a 6.3 tremor which killed 185 people. “It was massive and really long,” Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the 2011 tremor which was one of new zealand’s deadliest disasters. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up.” Earthquake engineer Ken Elwood from the University of Auckland said the impact of the latest quake would have been much worse had it hit at lunchtime, like the Christchurch one. “When it happens in the middle of the day it’s a very different story,” he told TVNZ. “People were safe in their homes, homes might get damaged but they’re safer for the people inside and that’s certainly the blessing of this earthquake.” The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks, with reports of damaged houses. ‘Significant shake’ Marie Black, a local councillor who lives about 50 kilometres north of Christchurch, told the new zealand Herald there were reports of damage to buildings in the North Canterbury region. “It was a significant shake, I have felt several aftershocks and it is very unnerving,” she said. In the capital Wellington, where shattered glass littered inner city streets, rail and bus services were cancelled and people were advised not to commute to work Monday. Wellington resident Kevin Simonsen, 72, said he had never experienced such a strong quake. “It was a rolling motion, very violent,” he told AFP. “It just went on and on. You could hear the building creak. It was quite scary and eerie.” Mount Victoria, the city’s highest point, was choked with cars in the early hours as residents from low-lying areas sought refuge from a possible tsunami. “I just packed up my kids and went up to my mum’s,” Kylie Goodman said. In several cities guests were forced to evacuate hotels when the quake hit, including Nelson, about 200 kilometres from the quake centre where the touring Pakistan cricket team are staying. “Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake,” team manager Wasim Bari told ESPNcricinfo. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.20161113225500http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/11/14/3-cows-stranded-on-patch-land-after-powerful-new-zealand-earthquake.htmlNov. 14, 2016: In this image made from video, three cows are stranded on an island of grass in a paddock that had been ripped apart following an earthquake near Kaikoura, New Zealand.

(Newshub via AP) WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Three New Zealand cows looked like they could use a little help Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass. Video taken by Newshub news service from a helicopter near the small town of Kaikoura shows two adult cattle and a calf stuck on a chunk of land in a paddock that had been ripped apart in Monday's magnitude-7.8 quake. The patch of grass was surrounded by deep ravines of collapsed earth, trapping the animals where they stood. It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them. Kaikoura is close to the epicenter of the overnight earthquake, and where one of the two confirmed deaths occurred. The quake was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people.

New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.8 quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometers (132 miles) north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

It was one of the biggest earthquakes in New Zealand for years - killing two people, damaging hundreds of homes and causing a tsunami up to five metres high. So World of Warcraft gamer Delrio Sierra can perhaps be forgiven for freaking out while accidentally live-streaming the disaster online. But despite Sierra's obvious panic his fellow teammates couldn't care less, encouraging him to keep playing, adding: 'No-one cares if you live or die.' Delrio Sierra, from New Zealand, accidentally live-streamed himself getting caught up in the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck yesterday while playing online games. Astonishingly Sierra does attempt to stay at his keyboard, poking his head up from underneath his desk in a desperate bid to keep questing. But the tremors eventually prove too much and he is literally knocked off his feet, sending him scrambling out the door.20161114055700http://www.abc15.com/news/national/new-zealand-earthquake-could-bring-a-tsunami-to-the-usCopyright 2016 Scripps Media, Inc.

As of 8 a.m. ET Sunday, no tsunami watches or warnings have been issued for the United States. The magnitude 7.8-earthquake struck near the Christchurch area of the South Island of New Zealand. The earthquake hit the island nation around 6 a.m. ET Sunday, or 1 a.m. Monday New Zealand time. Weather officials in New Zealand confirmed that a large wave hit the South Island around 8 a.m. ET. US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Christchurch this weekend on his way to Antarctica.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck just after midnight in a mostly rural area close to the city of Christchurch, but appeared to be more strongly felt in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes, and was followed by a number of strong aftershocks. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. Near the epicenter, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Authorities in Wellington were urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday. City officials said that some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress, and that the quake would likely have caused a mess in some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. At daybreak, several hours after the quake struck, there still were no reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch. Still, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. Although Monday's quake was stronger, its epicenter was much farther from any major urban areas. Location, depth and other factors beyond magnitude all contribute to how destructive an earthquake can be. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1:50 a.m. and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. Information from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center indicated that the tsunami waves could be highest around the South Island town of Kaikoura, at about 5 feet. The Hawaii-based center said it did not expect the quake to generate a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami. In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows were smashed and some chimneys collapsed. The quake was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS initially estimated that the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.4 before revising it to 7.8. It said the quake struck at a depth of 14 miles, after initially putting the depth at 6 miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow.

The department of civil defense warned people all along the country’s east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away.

Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes, and was followed by a number of strong aftershocks. Speaking about six hours after the quake struck, Prime Minister John Key said he was unable to give further information on the fatalities until authorities had confirmed all the details. He said officials had no reason to believe the death toll would rise. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100 percent sure," he said. Key said that crews would better be able to assess the damage during the day. He said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because the nation's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation. He said waves of about 7 feet had hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. Near the epicenter, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides.

Professor of Geosciences Kevin Furlong, of Pennsylvania State University in the US, said what GeoNet now considers two separate earthquakes, striking at Culverden just after midnight with a magnitude of 7.5, showed evidence of "complex rupture history". The area where the quakes appeared, near the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, contained numerous faults with a wide range of orientations, Furlong noted. "The main rupture and aftershocks may exploit this complicated tectonic zone resulting in a range of earthquake mechanisms for the aftershocks and in comparison to the main earthquake." Dr Mark Quigley, formerly based at Canterbury University and now at the University of Melbourne, also commented on the quakes' dynamic characteristics. "Preliminary data suggest that this is a structurally complicated earthquake, involving a mixture of reverse faults that thrust the northern South Island up over the Pacific Plate, and strike-slip faults, which slid northern crustal blocks sideways and towards the northeast relative to their southern counterparts," Quigley said. "The majority of the energy release appears to be sourced from rupture of a large fault or fault system that could be up to 200km long and that strikes northeast and dips to the northwest, beneath the northern part of the South Island." Due to ongoing convergence between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, faults in this orientation accommodated a mixture of reverse and strike-slip faulting. Because of the large size of the fault, and the initial interpretation that the rupture started at the southwest end of the fault and propagated to the northeast, the seismic energy was released in a period of up to two minutes, he said.

Related Content "In Christchurch, the shaking felt quite different to the fatal 2011 Christchurch earthquake, which had a tremendous amount of high frequency energy and very strong ground accelerations; this most recent earthquake would have been dominated by lower frequency shaking manifested as a 'rolling-type' ground motion felt for up to one to two minutes." Like Christchurch, this quake had also triggered liquefaction in coastal areas and in susceptible sediments, and landsliding along steep, susceptible cliffs in the northern South Island. For an earthquake of magnitude 7.5-7.8, several large aftershocks were expected, and for each magnitude 6 aftershock 10 more magnitude 5 aftershocks are expected in the coming days and weeks. "This region has been one of the most seismically active in New Zealand over the last few years, including magnitude 6.5 and 6.5 earthquakes that occurred as part of the Cook Strait earthquake sequence in 2013; it is likely that these sequences are related given their close spatial and temporal association." Dr Paul Somerville, a geoscientist at Macquarie University, said that, although the earthquake appeared not to have occurred at the plate interface, known as the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, the direction of slip on the faults was similar to what was expected from earthquakes on the subduction zone, which underlies Wellington. "It is important to understand the implications of this earthquake for the potential triggering of earthquakes on the Hikurangi Subduction Zone and other faults in the region around Wellington." James Goff, director of the Australia-Pacific Tsunami Research Centre and Natural Hazards Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales, said, yet again, New Zealand's earthquakes were proving to be anything but easy to understand. "In addition, it is always difficult to know exactly what type of tsunami warning to issue as a result of such an event; a relatively 'small' earthquake for tsunami generation and near, but not at, the coast." Large aftershocks were continuing, with the latest, a magnitude 6.8 quake, generating yet another tsunami information statement from the warning centres. "While the earthquake itself may not generate a tsunami, it is quite possible that large local tsunamis can be generated by earthquake ground-shaking causing submarine landslides offshore," Goff said. "The Kaikoura Canyon, close to Kaikoura's coast is just such a location and it has the potential to produce a devastating tsunami for an area already badly affected by the earlier earthquake."

Power lines and phone lines are said to be down, including emergency lines to police, fire and ambulance services. Others reported that the emergency number 111 was back up and running. Anthropology student Heather McMillan said her home shook “like jelly” when the earthquake struck as she was getting ready for bed, and she feared it was going to collapse. The 20-year-old told Mirror Online: “When it started it was really big so I thought it was going to be short but it kept going for a good few minutes and felt like the second floor was going to fall down. That was a huge earthquake. Got evacuated out of our apartment building. Hope everyone affected by it are safe!

Alysa Jane (@alysajaney) November 13, 2016 “Very quickly you realise it's an earthquake because I’ve felt one before. “But this was a different level. I honestly thought it was going to last for 20 minutes or longer. “I live in the second storey of a flat and it was like a rolling feeling from the house. The aftershocks have felt like we're a ship at sea. ”She said the tremor lasted around five minutes but it felt like forever". She added: “I think it's one of those moments when you start thinking whether this is it? Like the big earthquake that's going to put Christchurch back into the place it was five years ago?” Heather said her flat did not suffer any damage, but her parents in Wellington were without power and had some belongings damaged as the earthquake shook their home. Patsy Knight told Mirror Online that aftershocks were still continuing 20 minutes after the quake. She said: "We're in Wellington and absolutely terrifying. Smashed glass everywhere, but thankfully all good. Not much sleep happening though, kids with us. Aftershocks continuously happening!" Chef Tim Owen, 29, was at home in Halswell, a satellite town of Christchurch, when the earthquake hit. He said: "It went on for like a minute or so, which is quite long. It felt like swaying and like a wave. "We just got up from the couch and stood in the doorway. It does make you feel very anxious not knowing if it will get worse or when it may stop." The earthquake was felt as far away as Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Hamilton. In Hamilton, Wayne Timmo woke to the kitchen blinds banging against the window and said the quake felt like a "long slow, rolling or almost rotating motion". He told Stuff.co.NZ : "The water in the neighbour's swimming pool was left sloshing around for about a minute and people woken by the quake came out onto the street to talk about it. "The cat has disappeared and the neighbours dog is upset." Kaitlin in Wellington posted a picture of her home, showing her possessions strewn around the room following the earthquake. In Nelson, resident Jo Davis grabbed her children and sheltered in a doorway as the quake seemed to "go on forever". She said it had a much longer, more rolling motion than a 2010 Canterbury quake she experienced. Davis said she was surprised there appeared to be no damage to the house. "It really shook for a long time." The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. Others took to social media to show pictures and videos of their devastated homes. Alysa Jane tweeted: "6.something magnitude earthquake did it's damage I'm on the 7th floor! I'm rekt!" Kavithya wrote: "That was a huge earthquake. Got evacuated out of our apartment building. Hope everyone affected by it are safe!" Cynthia Drescher, from Christchurch, said the earthquake lasted for three to four minutes. She said she was evacuated to a building rebuilt after it was destroyed in the 2011 quake. Cynthia described aftershocks she felt as "freaky". Well-wishers from around the world sent their best wishes to the stricken country which has been devastated by earthquakes over the years. Arnoud Beckers, from Holland, wrote: "Hope everybody is safe in the beautiful city of Christchurch. Again hit by a huge quake." Islanders could face aftershocks which often follow the main quake. They can cause further building damage and falling debris. A Christchurch Police spokeswoman told Stuff.co.NZ they hadn't received any calls about damage. "Just be careful on the roads in case there's damage," she said. St John Ambulance says they have no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre (EOC)", they said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready."20161113132600http://www.ibtimes.co.in/new-zealand-earthquake-how-touring-pakistan-cricket-team-nz-reacted-it-703823The Pakistan players are presently in New Zealand for the upcoming Test series, starting Thursday.

The players woke from their sleep, and rushed down from the sixth and seventh floor of the hotel, where they were staying. Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur explained the 'scary' scenario during the quake. "It was about midnight and everything started shaking and we were on the sixth and seventh floor of the hotel - so yeah, it was pretty scary," newshub.co.nz quoted Arthur as saying. "The boys raced downstairs, and most of the guys actually slept down in the team room as they were too scared to go back to their rooms. An earthquake and a tsunami warning - it's all happened for us, you've really turned it in for us here in New Zealand." Pakistan team manager Wasim Bari explained that the quake was strong and their families in Pakistan were worried, when they heard about the earthquake in New Zealand. "For us, it was something new, because we don't have many earthquakes in Pakistan. This was a pretty strong one. We'd just finished watching the India-England match and the doors and windows were going from one side to another as if they were made of paper. There was some trauma as well for the boys. Back home, the families had felt disturbed," ESPN Cricinfo quoted Bari as saying. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake was felt Monday midnight in Christchurch, and the fear of Tsunami began increasing every minute. The officials, fearing the worst, warned of the incoming Tsunami danger, which came two hours after the quake. The earthquake led to landslides as well, and roads connecting towns and cities were also cracked open. Aftershocks of the quake were felt across the region till Monday morning, and two people are said to have been feared dead so far. Despite the massive earthquake, the first Test match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Christchurch is expected to go ahead as scheduled. The preparations for the Test are going on, and the New Zealand cricket officials are keeping a tab on the situation.20161114100200http://www.reuters.com/article/us-quake-newzealand-idUSKBN1380CIWELLINGTON A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami.

Thousands of people along New Zealand's east coast fled their homes to head for higher ground as emergency services warned of destructive waves of up to five meters (yards) in some areas. "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been," said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. "Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming may be bigger than what has come before." St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicenter of the quake, 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, where a 6.3 quake in 2011 killed 185 people, on New Zealand's South Island. "We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura," Dion Rosario, St John Incident Controller, said in a statement. "However, at this stage we do not have specifics." Police said they were investigating reports of a collapsed building in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. The first tremor and a series of aftershocks were felt throughout most of New Zealand. There were no immediate reports of deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout overlooking the low-lying coastal city.

Police have also confirmed two people have died in the natural disaster so far, one believed to have been from a heart attack. GETTY A powerful earthquake has struck New Zealand sparking fears of a tsunami A spokesman siad: “One casualty has been reported at a collapsed property in Kaikora. Police are also trying to access a property at Mt Lyford north of Christchurch where a further casualty has been reported, which is believed to be a fatality.” Prime Minister John Key added: "We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it will rise, but we can't rule that out." People living in coastal areas have been advised to head for higher ground or get as far inland as possible. Officials also warned people to stay away from at-risk areas and not to return until the all-clear had been given. TWITTER The Civil Defence Ministry warned that waves of up to five metres remained a risk. Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence, said: "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been. "Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming may be bigger than what has come before." St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicentre of the quake. TWITTER Buildings were damaged and glass shattered during the quake Incident Controller Dion Rosario said: "We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura. However, at this stage we do not have specifics." Auhtorites have expressed their concern for those in the coastal town of Kaikoura, which is popular with tourists, after it was cut off. Located near the epicentre, it appears to be one of the hardest hit areas, and officials are hoping to get a better understanding of the damage once the sun rises. GETTY Many citizens have been displaced by the earthquake A spokesman for the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management said: "The first tsunami waves have arrived but it is too early to know what damage or casualties there may have been. "Further waves should be expected and may be larger or more dangerous. New Zealanders should stay off the beaches, stay out of the water, and not go sightseeing. "People are encouraged to keep themselves informed and follow the advice of their local civil defence groups as the situation develops around the country. "If you have been advised to evacuate, follow your local tsunami evacuation procedures." TWITTER Damage caused by the 7.4 earthquake near Chtistchurch Related videos The US Geological Survey said the earthquake hit 57 miles to the north-east of Christchurch just after midnight local time. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island and a 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. There were no immediate reports of serious damage from the latest quake which was felt across a large area but a tsunami could pose a greater threat to life and property. TWITTER The Christchurch earthquake was felt over a wide area A resident in Takaka, near the top of the South Island, told Radio New Zealand: "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out."

It was felt throughout most of the country. The quake took place 91km from the town of Christchurch which was struck by a powerful earthquake back in 2011. At least 185 people were killed and hundreds injured after the 6.3 magnitude quake hit the town. The quake shook the captial city Wellington, where sirens were heard. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) issued a tsunami warning for the eastern coasts of North and South Islands, warning residents along the country’s entire east coast to seek higher ground. Shortly after that, Burwood Ward Councillor Glenn Livingstone wrote on Twitter that a “2m high tsunami” hit the town of Kaikoura and moved away from the coast. MCDEM warns the first wave may not be the largest, as tsunami activity is expected to continue for several hours. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets. The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks and there were reports of damaged buildings in the small rural township of Cheviot near the epicentre. “It was massive and really long,” Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the deadly 2011 tremor. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up.” In a brief message the Prime Minister John Key tweeted: “I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight.” The ambulance service said it did not receive any reports of quake-related injuries. However, the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand’s emergency management said a tsunami was possible. “The first wave activity may not be the most significant,” it said in a bulletin, adding tsunami activity would continue for several hours. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist with the GNS Science, said the government’s earthquake monitoring service, the quakes were close to the coast. “They’ve been quite large. We’ve also seen a signal on the tide gauge at Kaikoura which is up to one metre (three feet) so it’s reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously.” In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.20161114011500http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/4290968/new-zealand-earthquake-hundreds-of-aftershocks-pepper-north-and-south-islands/?cs=5The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area.text/html2016-11-14T02:29+0100illawarramercuryenillawarramercury-c3b3c3594435c55bd618f2fe61d28658ET_EarthquakeFRESGeopoliticsNaturalDisastersET_EarthquakePTET_SPORTFRCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesET_EarthquakeROSanctionSuspensionAustraliaNewZealandhttp://www.illawarramercury.com.au//nnstatic-a.akamaihd.net/s/1478562850/sites/illawarra-mercury/ico/favicon.icoUnited States Geological SurveyCookChristchurchMarlboroughCanterburyNorthNew ZealandFairfaxLikelyMediaMoreAustraliaCaroline-3The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area." About 10 hours after the huge quake hit, GeoNet had recorded 232 aftershock events. One of those tremors was of 6.1 magnitude. By 9am more than 250 shocks had been recorded. Caroline Little, a spokeswoman for GeoNet, told Fairfax Media that the agency was "pretty confident" the initial earthquake was two seismic events about 50 kilometres apart. It is the largest earthquake recorded in New Zealand since 2009. said: "It looks like we've got two separate but related quakes going on. Our reports indicate that the combination of these two quakes lasted two minutes, with the most severe shaking at around 50 seconds." "It's quite a complex quake," Ms Little said. "It looks like two events happening almost simultaneously." The M7.5 looks like TWO separate earthquakes, which is why we are seeing aftershocks in two locations. More info to come. — GeoNet (@geonet) /div> November 13, 2016 Geoscience Australia said that the seismic event released more than 50 times the amount of energy than the 2011 Christchurch earthquake that killed 185 people.

He said it was unlikely there were two separate quakes but that, as the earth's crust ripped, seismologists can record movement at different locations. "We put a dot on a map and call it the epicentre and give it a number but of course it's more complex than that," he said. Mr Jaksa said an earthquake of this size had an impact zone of about 150 to 180 kilometres. "It's way too far away to affect Australia," he said.

"From our measurements it seems this one started onshore about 15 kilometres underground and ruptured the crust from west to east in a slightly north-easterly direction." GeoNet released an initial report of expected likely scenarios. Scenario 1 (Very likely): a normal aftershock sequence over the next few months. This means gradually diminishing size and frequency of seismic events. Scenario 2 (Likely): Possible rupture earthquake of magnitude 6 in North Canterbury and/or offshore. Scenario 3 (Unlikely): Another large earthquake above magnitude 7 within a month in the Marlborough and Cook Strait regions. GeoNet measured the quake at a magnitude of 7.5, although the United States Geological Survey said it was of a 7.8 magnitude and Geoscience Australia said the event was of a 7.9 magnitude. "There are a number of ways we can look at an earthquake," Mr Jaksa said. He said GeoNet relied on measuring close readings, which can "saturate" the measurement devices causing what he called "clipping". The first measurements from an earthquake are the "p-waves", which are compression waves travelling through the earth, much like sound waves. Mr Jaksa said these dispersion waves allow detection of a quake's location and an initial estimate of its size. Following the "p-waves" seismologists measure "s-waves", which are slower moving shear waves travelling perpendicular to the direction of the p-waves. Seismologists then measure even slower surface waves that shake the crust in rolling waves allowing a better understanding of the event. Mr Jaksa said GeoNet relied on more localised measurements, whereas Geoscience Australia incorporated more longer-period waves. USGS uses a similar method, explaining why the US and Australian agencies have issued similar magnitudes for the event. He said the NZ measurement was more like the older Richter scale, which measured amplitudes of seismic waves. The current scales incorporate measurements of earth movement. Ms Little said that GeoNet's use of local stations gave it a better ability to locate the epicentre and determine whether it was one or two seismic events. "We're pretty confident it was two," she said.20161114022900http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/4290968/new-zealand-earthquake-hundreds-of-aftershocks-pepper-north-and-south-islands/?cs=5The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area.text/html2016-11-14T03:53+0100dailyadvertiserendailyadvertiser-fb4315ec041507df0e0b09466766b712ET_EarthquakeFRESGeopoliticsNaturalDisastersET_EarthquakePTET_SPORTFRCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesET_EarthquakeROSanctionSuspensionAustraliaNewZealandhttp://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au//nnstatic-a.akamaihd.net/s/1478562850/sites/the-daily-advertiser/ico/favicon.icoUnited States Geological SurveyCookChristchurchMarlboroughCanterburyNorthNew ZealandFairfaxLikelyMediaMoreAustraliaCaroline-3The deadly earthquake that struck 90 kilometres north of Christchurch on Sunday night has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks. , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, said: "We can say one thing with certainty: there will be more earthquakes to come in this area."

The earthquake occurred at 1103 GMT, some 53 kilometers (33 miles) northeast of Amberley, New Zealand, and its epicenter was located at a depth of 23 kilometers (14 miles). The tsunami alert was activated when a 2.5 meters drawdown was observed at the Kaikoura tide station in New Zealand. Soon after, tsunami alert sirens were heard throughout New Zealand as the authorities warned the East Coast and Chatham islands populations to expect “three to five meter waves and insisted in reaching higher grounds,” according to a Civil Defense tweet. The first tsunami tidal wave surge hit New Zealand’s east coast as over 100 aftershocks were still being felt during the 7.8 earthquake aftermath; however, authorities didn’t inform of any casualties or serious damage, although they did warn that the first wave “may not be the largest,” adding that the threat – and the waves – could continue for some hours. Local heavy rain and wind is expected until Tuesday which may complicate relief and emergency responders task. The first evacuation took place in the north eastern coast, where the earthquake was more strongly felt. The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defense has recommended the following self-protection measures to all people in coastal areas: 1. Stay out of the water (sea, rivers and estuaries, including boating activities) 2. Stay off beaches and shore areas 3. Do not go sightseeing 4. Share information with family, neighbors and friends 5. Listen to the radio and/or TV for updates 6. Follow instructions of local civil defense authorities 7. If a land threat is forecasted for your area, take appropriate evasive action. Emergency services did confirm some damage in buildings and roads in the Cheviot area. New Zealand sits on the fault that separates the Pacific and Oceania tectonic plates which registers an average of 14,000 tremors per year of which 100 to 150 are strong enough to be felt on the surface. On Feb. 22, 2011, around 185 persons died in a 6.3 earthquake that shook Christchurch, on the South Island, causing damages to some 30,000 buildings.20161114051600http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2016/11/13/new-zealand-struck-major-earthquake-warns-possible-tsunami/phty2xcUT1NRSOpSs1jTCL/story.htmlWELLINGTON, New Zealand A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings more than 120 miles away in the capital, Wellington.

In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake’s epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday’s quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the ‘‘Ring of Fire,’’ an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

The quake, located 20 kilometres south-east of Hanmer Springs at a depth of 23 kilometres, struck just after midnight on Sunday and was felt as far away as Auckland. The US Geological Survey said it was magnitude 7.8 although the tremor was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6.

It warned people to expect aftershocks and many had been felt with the largest a magnitude 5.6 tremor soon after the initial quake. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Stuff.co.nz said residents in Christchurch's coastal suburbs were evacuating and moving to higher ground. Hotels and occupied buildings in the CBD had been evacuated. Many people were standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they were okay. In Wellington, hundreds of people were on the streets as building alarms sounded and fire trucks and police cars headed to the CBD. Near Civic Square, hotel guests huddled together in bathrobes while they waited for their buildings to be cleared.

The quake triggering a tsunami warning along the entire east coast, which was later downgraded. In discussing fatalities New Zealand Prime Minister John Key told reporters in Wellington that: "We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it will rise, but we can't rule that out." Key added that details of the casualties were still being confirmed. He said a military helicopter was being dispatched to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura, near the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island. Tsunami gauges at Kaikoura, 180 kilometres north of Christchurch, had recorded "a sizeable tsunami wave of around 2.5 metres", weatherwatch.co.nz reported about three-and-a-half hours after the quake struck. "The tsunami gauges suggest perhaps an underwater landslide just off the Kaikoura coastline," weatherwatch said on its website. The quake, located 20 kilometres south-east of Hanmer Springs at a depth of 23 kilometres, struck just after midnight on Sunday and was felt as far away as Auckland. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management issued a tsunami warning for the South Island and later extended it for the entire east coast. The warning was later scaled back, reducing the area where such an event was likely to hit the coast. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. "The first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami activity will continue for several hours," the ministry tweeted. The rest of the east coast would see one to three-metre waves. It warned people to expect aftershocks and many had been felt with the largest a magnitude 5.6 tremor soon after the initial quake. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. Sydney Morning Herald journalist Saimi Jeong was in a hotel in Christchurch when the tremors began. "I was in bed about to sleep when I heard the door start rattling. I thought someone was at the door trying to get in," she said. "Then I felt the tremor - the bed was shaking, the floor was shaking. That's when it struck me that it was an earthquake. "I could see the lamp and curtains shaking. It just kept going, and I wondered when it would finally stop." Stuff.co.nz said residents in Christchurch's coastal suburbs were evacuating and moving to higher ground. Hotels and occupied buildings in the CBD had been evacuated. Many people were standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they were okay.

Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck in a mostly rural area close to the city of Christchurch but appeared to be more strongly felt in the capital Wellington, more than 120 miles away. The quake was followed by a number of strong aftershocks. It knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, for about 10 minutes, police reported. It caused items to fall from shelves and windows to break in Wellington, and forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1.50am and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The ministry had earlier sent out a message on Twitter saying there was no tsunami threat to the country. It then sent out another message - "situation has changed - tsunami is possible" - before reporting that a tsunami had, in fact, hit. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake brought back memories of a magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck the city in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people in one of New Zealand's worst disasters. Monday's quake was centred farther away from the one in 2011. In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake's epicentre, power was knocked out in some places and some windows were smashed and some chimneys collapsed. The quake was centred 57 miles north-east of Christchurch, according to the US Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of six miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire", an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck early Monday, just after midnight. 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island.

In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island.

Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Radio NZ said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. (Source: Reuters) In Wellington, 214 kilometers (132 miles) north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the ``Ring of Fire,'' an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. (Source: AP) The New Zealand government's GeoNet website said the quake was "felt widely" throughout the country and warned citizens to watch out for aftershocks. In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. In February 2011, a 6.3 earthquake left 185 people dead in the South Island city of Christchurch. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

New Zealand's Civil Defence issued a tsunami warning, advising residents on the South Island's east coast to seek higher ground. The quake was 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand.

WELLINGTON: A powerful 7.8 magniture earthquake struck central New Zealand just after midnight (1102 GMT Sunday), the U.S. Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island. New Zealand's Civil Defence told residents along the country's entire east coast, including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham Islands, to move inland or seek higher ground. It did not say how tall the first wave was but warned that areas on the east coast close to the epicenter could expect waves of up to five metres. "The first wave may not be the largest. Waves may continue for several hours," the Civil Defence said on Twitter. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. A tsunami warning seen on a notice board above State Highway 1 in Wellington.

A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The latest tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. The Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There have been reports of structural damage to several buildings, said Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council. Several roads around South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. In the capital Wellington, residents said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets. Hotels and apartment buildings were evacuated. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has surveyed the damage caused by a magnitude-7.8 earthquake, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. The quake struck just after midnight on Monday, its epicentre striking about 90 kilometres north-east of Christchurch in the South Island, leaving a trail of destruction and killing two people. "It's just utter devastation … That's months of work," Mr Key told acting Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He described landslips in the area as "just horrendous". In a statement seen by Reuters, Mr Key said of the likely damage bill: "You've got to believe it's in the billions of dollars to resolve." Mr Key and Mr Brownlee estimated clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to the small coastal town of Kaikoura, which bore the brunt of the damage, on Tuesday. The quake completely cut off road access to the town, said resident Terry Thompson, who added that electricity and most phones were also down. Cars in Kaikoura could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. A second earthquake, initially measured as magnitude 6.8 but revised down to 6.2, struck hours afterward but there were no reports of deaths or injuries. New Zealand's Civil Defence declared a state of emergency for the Kaikoura region soon after the large aftershock. Hundreds of aftershocks rattled the country where memories of are still fresh. the deadly 2011 Christchurch quake The city is still recovering from the magnitude-6.3 quake that killed 185 people, but locals say they are taking the latest tremors in their stride. Power to be restored to cut off town soon. The main road to Kaikoura was blocked in places by landslides, and police were working to airlift out a few tourists stranded in their campervans to the north and south of the town, according to emergency services officials in the nearby Marlborough region. Marlborough District Council earlier warned residents to flee to high ground immediately after a Slip Dam on the Clarence River breached, sending a large wall of water downstream. Kaikoura suffered "major infrastructure damage" in the quake, the Marlborough Emergency Management Group said in a statement. Sewerage and water supplies were knocked out, though power was gradually being restored Monday afternoon. Police were in radio communication with the town and mobile phone service was expected to be restored shortly. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Cows stranded on grass island near epicentre. Near Kaikoura, three cows looked like they could use a little help after landslides all around them left them stranded on a small island of grass. Video taken by Newshub news service from a helicopter showed two adult cattle and a calf stuck on a chunk of land in a paddock that had been ripped apart in the quake. The patch of grass was surrounded by deep ravines of collapsed earth, trapping the animals where they stood. It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them. Kaikoura is close to the epicentre of the overnight earthquake, and where one of the two confirmed deaths occurred. The quake was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people. New Zealand's 10 million cattle easily outnumber its 4.7 million people. It sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

A tsunami has hit after an earthquake struck New Zealand's South Island. The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.8 quake hit just after midnight (11:02 GMT on Sunday), some 95km (59 miles) from Christchurch. The tsunami arrived in the north-eastern coast about two hours later. Officials said the first waves may not be the largest, with tsunami activity possible for several hours. Residents were warned to head inland or for higher ground along the coast. A gauge at Kaikoura, 181 km (112 miles) north of Christchurch, measured a wave of two metres (6ft 5ins), according to Smaller waves are said to be arriving in Wellington and other areas, the website said. Residents in the Chatham Islands, an archipelago 423 miles (680km) south-east of the mainland, were also being warned a wave would hit imminently by the civil defence. New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim. Christchurch is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre. Image copyright Twitter Image copyright Twitter Image caption The Civil Defence Ministry has been dispensing advice over social media. The Herald newspaper said the tremor was felt all the way to Wellington, where sirens sounded and people fled buildings into the streets, some of them crying. Early reports suggest some houses in Cheviot town, near the epicentre, have been damaged. But contrary to reports by the US Geological Survey, New Zealand's GeoNet suggests the earthquake may have been only a 6.6 magnitude tremor. A resident of Christchurch said the tremor lasted a "long" time. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up," she told AFP news agency. On Twitter, Hayley Colgan described it as "the the most terrifying earthquake I think I've felt in my 23 years in New Zealand". A magnitude-7.1 quake struck 169km (105 miles) north-east of Gisborne on the North Island in September, sparking a tsunami warning. It caused some damage to property, but no injuries.

The jolt, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the quake-prone South Pacific nation, hit just after midnight Monday near the South Island coastal town of Kaikoura. As dawn broke there was scant information from many nearby rural villages, which were isolated by landslips and fractured telephone communications as strong aftershocks continued. Prime Minister John Key confirmed two people had died and said "we cannot rule out" that number will rise. Police were trying to reach the scene of one fatality at a remote property 150 kilometres north of Christchurch while another person died in a historic homestead which collapsed at Kaikoura. "At this point we are unable to give precise details of what caused those fatalities," Mr Key said, adding that communication problems made it difficult to give an accurate assessment. With roads blocked, a helicopter was taking a search and rescue team to Kaikoura, where aerial television footage showed huge landslips and at least one home destroyed. Mr Key said military choppers had also been drafted in to check the scale of destruction. "As soon as we can get a much better assessment of the actual damage then we can work out the next steps," he said. Soon after the earthquake, tsunami warning sirens were activated in South Island coastal towns and along the east coast of the North Island, with police and emergency workers going door to door to evacuate seaside properties. The ministry of civil defence, responsible for emergency management in New Zealand, initially warned of a "destructive tsunami" with waves of up to five metres. The first waves were measured around two metres and four hours later authorities downgraded the warning, but said risks remained. The earthquake struck at 12:02am Monday (1102 GMT Sunday) and was 23 kilometres deep, the US Geological Survey said, putting the epicentre in the South Island's North Canterbury region. It ignited painful memories for residents in nearby Christchurch, which was devastated five years ago by a 6.3 tremor which killed 185 people. "It was massive and really long," Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the 2011 tremor which was one of New Zealand's deadliest disasters. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up." Earthquake engineer Ken Elwood from the University of Auckland said the impact of the latest quake would have been much worse had it hit at lunchtime, like the Christchurch one. "When it happens in the middle of the day it's a very different story," he told TVNZ. "People were safe in their homes, homes might get damaged but they're safer for the people inside and that's certainly the blessing of this earthquake." The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks, with reports of damaged houses. Marie Black, a local councillor who lives about 50 kilometres north of Christchurch, told the New Zealand Herald there were reports of damage to buildings in the North Canterbury region. "It was a significant shake, I have felt several aftershocks and it is very unnerving," she said. In the capital Wellington, where shattered glass littered inner city streets, rail and bus services were cancelled and people were advised not to commute to work Monday. Wellington resident Kevin Simonsen, 72, said he had never experienced such a strong quake. "It was a rolling motion, very violent," he told AFP. "It just went on and on. You could hear the building creak. It was quite scary and eerie." Mount Victoria, the city's highest point, was choked with cars in the early hours as residents from low-lying areas sought refuge from a possible tsunami. "I just packed up my kids and went up to my mum's," Kylie Goodman said. In several cities guests were forced to evacuate hotels when the quake hit, including Nelson, about 200 kilometres from the quake centre where the touring Pakistan cricket team are staying. "Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake," team manager Wasim Bari told ESPNcricinfo. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has surveyed the damage caused by a magnitude-7.8 earthquake, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. The quake struck just after midnight on Monday, its epicentre striking about 90 kilometres north-east of Christchurch in the South Island, leaving a trail of destruction and killing two people. "It's just utter devastation … That's months of work," Mr Key told acting Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He described landslips in the area as "just horrendous". In a statement seen by Reuters, Mr Key said of the likely damage bill: "You've got to believe it's in the billions of dollars to resolve." Mr Key and Mr Brownlee estimated clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to the small coastal town of Kaikoura, which bore the brunt of the damage, on Tuesday. The quake completely cut off road access to the town, said resident Terry Thompson, who added that electricity and most phones were also down. Cars in Kaikoura could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. A second earthquake, initially measured as magnitude 6.8 but revised down to 6.2, struck hours afterward but there were no reports of deaths or injuries. New Zealand's Civil Defence declared a state of emergency for the Kaikoura region soon after the large aftershock. Hundreds of aftershocks rattled the country where memories of are still fresh. the deadly 2011 Christchurch quake The city is still recovering from the magnitude-6.3 quake that killed 185 people, but locals say they are taking the latest tremors in their stride. Power to be restored to cut off town soon. The main road to Kaikoura was blocked in places by landslides, and police were working to airlift out a few tourists stranded in their campervans to the north and south of the town, according to emergency services officials in the nearby Marlborough region. Marlborough District Council earlier warned residents to flee to high ground immediately after a Slip Dam on the Clarence River breached, sending a large wall of water downstream. Kaikoura suffered "major infrastructure damage" in the quake, the Marlborough Emergency Management Group said in a statement. Sewerage and water supplies were knocked out, though power was gradually being restored Monday afternoon. Police were in radio communication with the town and mobile phone service was expected to be restored shortly. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Cows stranded on grass island near epicentre. Near Kaikoura, three cows looked like they could use a little help after landslides all around them left them stranded on a small island of grass. Video taken by Newshub news service from a helicopter showed two adult cattle and a calf stuck on a chunk of land in a paddock that had been ripped apart in the quake. The patch of grass was surrounded by deep ravines of collapsed earth, trapping the animals where they stood. It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them. Kaikoura is close to the epicentre of the overnight earthquake, and where one of the two confirmed deaths occurred. The quake was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people. New Zealand's 10 million cattle easily outnumber its 4.7 million people. It sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

Thousands of people along New Zealand’s east coast fled their homes to head for higher ground as emergency services warned of destructive waves of up to 5m in some areas. The rest of the country was advised to stay off beaches and away from the water. “The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been,” said Ms Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. “Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming (and) may be bigger than what has come before.” The waves were expected to last for hours. St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicentre of the quake, 91km north-east of Christchurch, where a 6.3 quake in 2011 killed 185 people, on New Zealand’s South Island. “We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura,” Dion Rosario, St John Incident Controller, said in a statement. “However, at this stage we do not have specifics.” Police said they were investigating reports of a collapsed building in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. One person was said to be missing while another was found alive. Six people from Waiau, another small town near the epicentre, could not be contacted. In a brief message, Prime Minister John Key tweeted that “I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight.” The first tremor and multiple aftershocks were felt throughout most of New Zealand. There were no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand (RNZ) from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand’s emergency call number, 111, said police. Telco provider Spark said its phone networks in parts of the South Island have been affected, saying that people should text, rather than call, if they can. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout overlooking the low-lying coastal city. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Other residents reported glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Mr Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told RNZ. Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee says Wellington city officials are advising people to stay away from the central business district while buildings are being checked. Rail services have been suspended in Wellington. There will not be replacement bus services today. The airports of Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch will remain open. Geonet, which monitors geological hazards in New Zealand, revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. Geonet duty seismologist Dr Anna Kaiser said the quake sequence was “looking complex” and may involve more than one fault, according to New Zealand media. Heavy rain and wind in upper South Island and lower North Island have been forecast for today, likely hindering rescue efforts.

New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two meters (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one meter (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand's Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. USGS said the quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. "Everyone seems OK here," he told RNZ. "There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened." Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city's southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. "We've got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves," he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.

Three cows in New Zealand looked like they could use a little help on Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass. Video taken by Newshub news service from a helicopter near the small town of Kaikoura shows two adult cattle and a calf stuck on a chunk of land in a paddock that had been ripped apart in Monday’s magnitude-7.8 quake. The patch of grass was surrounded by deep ravines of collapsed earth, trapping the animals where they stood. It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them. Kaikoura is close to the epicentre of the overnight earthquake, and where one of the two confirmed deaths occurred. The quake was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people. news@7days.ae.20161114102700http://www.tampabay.com/news/world/2-killed-hundreds-evacuated-as-strong-quake-strikes-new-zealand/2302702Officials from the Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management warned people living near the coast to move inland to higher ground as tsunami waves raised seawater levels in some places by about 6 feet.

Officials in Wellington, New Zealand's capital, urged people to stay out of its central business district until the risk of damage to its buildings could be assessed. Prime Minister John Key said the earthquake had killed at least two people, but he offered no specifics, Reuters reported. "We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it will rise, but we can't rule that out," Key said of the death toll, speaking to reporters in Wellington. The New Zealand Herald reported that one of the deaths had resulted from a heart attack and that another had taken place on a historic homestead near the beach town of Kaikoura. The earthquake struck about 50 miles southwest of Kaikoura and 50 miles north of Christchurch. Elliot Fim, a regional official in that city, said there were no reports of damage, injuries or fatalities. The fire department was dealing with a large number of emergency calls seeking assistance. Fim said people living along about 200 miles of coastline had been evacuated. Some roadways and a building were reported damaged, but people had been able to move to high ground. A spokesman for the Wellington Region Emergency Management office said there were reports of minor damage in the capital city. Dan Jaksa, a duty officer from Geoscience Australia, said that if the small townships north of Christchurch did not have earthquake-resistant buildings, "it is going to be tough." Christchurch was struck in 2011 by an earthquake measuring 6.3 that devastated the city and killed 185 people. An additional 164 people were seriously injured. In Cheviot, a small town thought to be close to the epicenter of Sunday's earthquake, there were no reports of casualties. Jaksa said the earthquake had ruptured from west to east, with shocks moving toward Wellington, on the southern coast of New Zealand's North Island. "Let's hope this is it, and there's no more," he said. "Every time you go up one magnitude, say from 6.3 to 7.3, it is 32 times larger in terms of the energy released," Jaksa said. This earthquake was about 40 to 50 times as large as the one in Christchurch in 2011, he said. After the initial shock, which the U.S. Geological Survey measured at 7.8, there was an aftershock measuring 6.1, and then several more shocks, with three of those measuring in the high fives, Jaksa said. The earthquake occurred in the Hikurangi Trench, a subduction zone where one tectonic plate slides under another.20161114021100http://www.escape.com.au/travel-advice/new-zealand-earthquake-what-should-tourists-do/news-story/e70f7a4188b79a9029828d5b481039cc?nk=b057486ed70e6dc42a18239f91060f90-1479087205The quake struck near Hanmer Springs, 91km north of Christchurch, which is still recovering from the devastating earthquake of 2011.

Deborah Gray, Tourism New Zealand general manager of corporate affairs says travellers should keep themselves informed and either contact their embassy or a local i-SITE information centre in New Zealand for support with travel arrangements. “For the most up to date information, visitors should listen to the radio or keep an eye on news websites and official social media channels. “Visitors who have concerns regarding future or current travel arrangements, should contact their tour, accommodation or transport operator,” she says. Natali Ball, director of comparetravelinsurance.com.au says tourists who have pre-purchased travel insurance have an advantage. “If you had purchased a comprehensive policy prior to the earthquake you’re in luck. This is generally what travel insurance is for — an unforeseen event. Travellers will be covered for accommodation, travel and meal expenses provided they purchased their policy prior to news of their insurer’s published cut-off date.” So what’s covered and what’s not? Ball outlines what travellers need to know. Damage caused by the 7.8 earthquake at CentrePort in Wellington. Picture: Mark Mitchell. WHEN YOU ARE COVERED. If the earthquake was not a known event when you bought your policy you would be covered for: Cancellation (before you’ve left) : If you have not left yet, benefits will be paid if the earthquake forces you to cancel and claim for out-of-pocket expenses (provided the policy was purchased prior to the eruption). Cancellation (when already abroad): If you are within the earthquake zone you will be covered for travel and accommodation costs involved in moving you to new accommodation (if your booked accommodation is deemed uninhabitable). If your flights have been cancelled you would also be covered for any additional flight costs. Medical costs: Should you incur any injuries as a result of the earthquake, benefits would be paid towards your treatment. Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation: In the event that you require emergency evacuation or medical treatment that cannot be administered locally you would be evacuated to the nearest medical facility. Repatriation costs would also be covered in the event of your death. A road is cordoned off near Hanmer Springs, in New Zealand. Picture: AP. WHEN YOU’RE NOT COVERED. • Known events : Once an event is known in the mass media you wouldn’t be eligible to buy cover for any losses incurred, or claim to cancel your trip. Insurers will set cut-off dates, after which you would no longer be eligible to purchase cover. Insufficient cover: Remember that Basic (or medical only) policies would cover you for any medical claims in regards to earthquakes, but would not cover travel delays, lost luggage or trip cancellation. Claim for any reason: There would be no cover if your existing travel plans were not directly affected by the earthquake or if you just had a change of heart about your trip. • Accommodation cover: Your place of residence would have to be uninhabitable for you to make a claim (i.e. the hotel not meeting expectations or a broken pool would not suffice).20161114023300http://www.eagletribune.com/region/nowhere-to-mooove-cows-stranded-by-new-zealand-earthquake/article_0ad7c485-601c-5d81-b194-6d0e045afd60.htmlWELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Three New Zealand cows looked like they could use a little help Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass.

Kaikoura is close to the epicenter of the overnight earthquake, and where one of the two confirmed deaths occurred. The quake was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people.

New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.8 quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometers (132 miles) north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centers. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

The quake, located 20 kilometres south-east of Hanmer Springs at a depth of 23 kilometres, struck just after midnight on Sunday and was felt as far away as Auckland. The US Geological Survey said it was magnitude 7.8 although the tremor was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. "The first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami activity will continue for several hours," the ministry tweeted. It warned people to expect aftershocks and many had been felt with the largest a magnitude 5.6 tremor soon after the initial quake. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Stuff.co.nz said residents in Christchurch's coastal suburbs were evacuating and moving to higher ground. Hotels and occupied buildings in the CBD had been evacuated. Many people were standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they were okay. In Wellington, hundreds of people were on the streets as building alarms sounded and fire trucks and police cars headed to the CBD. Near Civic Square, hotel guests huddled together in bathrobes while they waited for their buildings to be cleared. Windows in some high-rise office buildings had smashed, while plaster and masonry appeared to have fallen down from some buildings, Stuff.co.nz said. St John Ambulance said it had no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre", it said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready." Fairfax New Zealand journalist Kirsty Lawrence was asleep in Palmerston North, on the North Island, when the earthquake struck. "I waited in bed for a moment but then it got louder and started growing in intensity," Ms Lawrence said. "I was straight up and under a doorway. All our cupboards starting banging in the kitchen and stuff was falling all over on my dresser and car alarms were going off. And I'm up in Palmerston North so reasonably far from it and it was still huge. It went for so long." A resident in the seaside Nelson suburb of Tahunanui said the power had been cut after the quake. The tremor was felt across a large area, including Christchurch, reports say. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim.20161113143900http://www.news4jax.com/weather/new-zealand-powerful-78magnitude-quake-rocks-south-island(CNN) - A series of powerful earthquakes jolted New Zealand's South Island Monday, triggering a tsunami and sending aftershocks across the country that left at least two dead, officials said.

The first event, a 7.8-magnitude quake, struck just after midnight Monday near the coastal community of Kaikoura, some 93 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch, the US Geological Survey reported. It triggered waves of 2.49 meters (8 feet) above usual tide levels, the highest New Zealand had seen in at least 38 years, Philip Duncan of Weather Watch New Zealand said. An initial tsunami warning was lifted but temblors continued Monday afternoon. A 6.2-magnitude quake struck around 1:30 p.m. 39 kilometers west-southwest of Kaikoura, further north of Christchurch. New Zealand is a South Pacific nation of islands, the two largest being the North and South islands, which are home to most of the population. Aftershocks from South Island reverberated all the way to Wellington, the country's capital on the North Island, where residents were told to stay indoors Monday. 'It's going to be a long night' In Christchurch, memories of a devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 are still fresh for many. That quake killed 185 people and injured thousands, and reduced swaths of the city's historic area to rubble. "The land has been very peaceful for many, many months. So this is bringing back all the rare memories," said Chet Wah, owner of Designer Cottage B&B in Christchurch. "I just checked with all the guests. They are alright. It is scary. It's going to be a long night." Christchurch, on the South Island's eastern coast, has a population of more than 340,000 people, the most recent census shows. Powerful aftershocks. Images on social media showed shattered windows, toppled grocery items on the floor of a supermarket and water sloshing back and forth in swimming pools from different parts of the country. Mark A'Court, owner of the Fresh Choice in Nelson City, posted security video footage on Facebook showing wine bottles falling from shelves at his store. A photo of a road with a deep, wide crack down its middle served as sobering evidence of the temblor's force. "This is the strongest [earthquake] I've ever felt," Tamara Hunt said. She was with her husband at their home in Whanganui when the earthquake struck. "It started off so small, like the cat moving in the bed, but then it started building and I had to run to the door. Stuff in the house was falling over and the doors were swaying really bad," she said. "Then we decided to get out, and that's when we saw our pool had lost a lot of water. The earthquake went on for two minutes." The South Island has been hit by a flurry of aftershocks, according to the USGS and New Zealand's Geonet service, some with a magnitude above 6.0. Officials from the island's second-largest town, Dunedin, called a state of emergency there. Life in a 'collision zone' The USGS initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.4 at a depth of just 10 kilometers -- shallow enough to cause serious destruction to the immediate surrounding area. It later revised the quake strength to 7.8, but changed its depth to 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) , giving more of a buffer between the epicenter and the Earth's surface. New Zealand is regularly hit by earthquakes, because it sits in a "collision zone" between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. It is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped belt around the ocean's edges where many earthquakes and volcano eruptions occur.20161114050600http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/south-pacific-struck-by-powerful-earthquakeWELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away in the capital, Wellington.

(USGS) Nick Perry, The Associated Press Published Sunday, November 13, 2016 7:13AM EST Last Updated Sunday, November 13, 2016 7:40AM EST. WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings over 200 kilometres (120 miles) away in the capital, Wellington. New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.4 quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometres (132 miles) north of the quake's epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centred 93 kilometres (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday's quake was much farther away from any major population centres. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. The tsunami may arrive in the Eastern Coast of the North Island shortly. Move inland or to higher ground immediately. — MCDEM (@NZcivildefence) November 13, 2016 I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight. @NZcivildefence is looking into the impact of the quake.

The quake hit just after midnight on Monday and was felt as far away as the country’s capital, the North Island city of Wellington, which lies several hundred kilometres away. Authorities said one person died in the town of Kaikoura on the eastern coast, which was cut off by road, before losing power and phone lines. Another died in Mount Lyford, a nearby ski resort. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the circumstances of the casualties were still being confirmed. "We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it [number of casualties] will rise, but we can't rule that out." There are reports that two women have been pulled alive from rubble in the ruins of Elms homestead, in Kaikoura. This earthquake was the largest recorded in New Zealand since the M7.8 Dusky Sound earthquake in 2009. According to a report by Geonet , which monitors seismic activity in New Zealand, says it appears that two earthquakes struck within minutes of each. “Our reports indicate that the combination of these two quakes lasted two minutes, with the most severe shaking at around 50 seconds,” the report said. “It was widely felt throughout both the North and South Islands. It looks like one was a strike-slip and the other was a thrust fault.” The quake triggered a tsunami warning along the entire east coast, which was later downgraded. Aftershocks continued throughout Monday morning. Many schools and offices stayed closed while engineers checked the buildings, and ferries and trains were cancelled.20161114020700http://en.trend.az/world/other/2684557.html23:13 (GMT+4) New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said two people were killed in a powerful earthquake that the struck the Pacific nation early on Monday, Reuters reported.

"We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it will rise, but we can't rule that out," Key told reporters in Wellington, adding that details of the casualties were still being confirmed. Key said a military helicopter was being dispatched to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura, near the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island. 18:01 (GMT+4) The earthquake measured at 7.9 on the Richter scale struck New Zealand's South Island, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said on Sunday, Sputnik International reported. The 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit the island at 11:02 GMT, EMSC specified. The epicenter of the earthquake was less than 120 miles from the city of Christchurch that was heavily damaged and saw at least 185 deaths in the earthquakes of 2010-2012. There have been damages to residential buildings, but so far no reports of casualties, according to some local media outlets. New Zealand's Civil Defense and Emergency Management Ministry (MCDEM) issued a warning for a tsunami for the eastern coast of both North and South Islands. "The tsunami threat is for the east coast of all New Zealand (including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham islands," MCDEM twitted. The instructions for behavior during quakes and tsunami and advised everyone on the eastern coast to "move to high ground," the ministry added.20161113202500http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/it-was-very-emotional-winnipegger-speaks-to-mother-in-new-zealand-1.3158876Just 10 days before a Winnipeg woman and her two children are set to visit family in New Zealand, disaster struck.

Lynley Davidson woke up Sunday morning to news of a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit New Zealand's South Island. Davidson immediately reached out to family, including her mother, who is in her 80s. “She thought she was never going to get to see me, today, when that earthquake was hitting,” she said. “It was very emotional. I just said, ‘Don’t worry, we will be there in 10 days. It’s only 10 days’.” Davidson is from a town called Rangiora, north of Christchurch. The quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. “Knowing how much damage had been done before, I couldn’t believe it. You know that people’s houses are going to be affected. There’s going to be landslides, major devastation,” she said. Davidson said stores and bridges were just finished being built earlier this year, and now this. “I was scared for their safety, yes. I’m still concerned for them just knowing how many aftershocks they’ve got to live through today. It’s not easy for them,” she said. Tear down and clean up after the 2011 earthquake took four years, said Davidson. It was only in the last 12 months that they began rebuilding, she added. “I’ve talked to all my family, but a lot of people were told to move to higher ground. It was close to midnight, their time, so they just got in their cars and drove to towns that were higher ground and they’re camping out in grocery store parking lots,” said Davidson. Three weeks after the 2011 earthquake happened, Davidson, who was the president of the Down Under Club of Winnipeg at the time, helped to fundraise close to $15,000 for those affected. Davidson said she’s unsure if she’ll be doing any fundraising this time around, as it’s too early to tell how much damage there is. The New Zealand government has to ask for help before anything can be done, she added. With three generations of her family living in New Zealand, Davidson said she is happy they are all safe and that their homes are intact at this point. “We’re just so grateful that everyone is safe and sound and we appreciate all prayers,” she said. - With files from CTV Winnipeg's Shelden Rogers and Nick Perry, The Associated Press.20161113233400http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/ap/2016/11/14/Nowhere_to_mooove_3_cows_stranded_by_New_Zealand_earthquake.html?cid=rssWELLINGTON, New Zealand -- (AP) Three New Zealand cows looked like they could use a little help Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass.

A New Zealand cricket spokesman confirmed Monday that the Test would begin at Hagley Oval on Thursday as planned after the venue and teams' accommodation were checked and found to be safe. The 7.8-magnitude quake, one of the most powerful ever recorded in New Zealand, hit just after midnight near the South Island town of Kaikoura, about 180 kilometres (110 miles) north of Christchurch. New Zealand pace bowler Matt Henry was asleep at home in Christchurch when the quake struck. “I was lying in bed and woke up to quite a long rumble,” he said. “It was a bit scary. They're hard to get used to.” Henry said that the cricket would be a welcome distraction to help people take their minds off what had happened. “It always brings a community together and for a brief moment you can get back to a bit of normality, so it's probably a good timing to have a Test match this week,” said Henry. The Pakistan touring squad felt the tremors in their hotel in Nelson, about 200 kilometres from the quake's centre. “Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake,” team manager Wasim Bari told ESPN Cricinfo. “The whole room began to shake. We were on the sixth and seventh floor, and evacuated immediately. We are all safe,” added the former Test wicketkeeper. The Pakistan women’s team, who are also touring New Zealand, were on the 13th floor of a hotel in Christchurch when the tremors began. Basit Ali, their manager, told private TV channel they were all safe. “It was so horrible and players were scared, we immediately moved out of (the) hotel. The players were without slippers even,” he was reported as saying. They are due to face the New Zealand women's team in the fourth one-day international at Nelson's Saxton Oval on Thursday.20161114082100http://www.wptv.com/news/powerful-quake-strikes-near-christchurch-new-zealandWELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away in the capital, Wellington.

The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centered 93 kilometers (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they're shallow.

About 10 hours after the huge quake hit, GeoNet had recorded 232 aftershock events. One of those tremors was of 6.1 magnitude. By noon AEDT close to 300 shocks had been recorded. Caroline Little, a spokeswoman for GeoNet, told Fairfax Media that the agency was "pretty confident" the initial earthquake was two seismic events about 50 kilometres apart. It is the largest earthquake recorded in New Zealand since 2009. said: "It looks like we've got two separate but related quakes going on. Our reports indicate that the combination of these two quakes lasted two minutes, with the most severe shaking at around 50 seconds." "It's quite a complex quake," Ms Little said. "It looks like two events happening almost simultaneously." UPDATE: Mag 7.9 South Island of New Zealand. 14 Nov 2016 00:03 (NZDT). Lat/Long -42.7 172.7. Depth 59km. Info is preliminary.— EarthquakesGA (@EarthquakesGA) /div> November 13, 2016 "What is occurring is a rip through the earth's crust," he said. "From our measurements it seems this one started onshore about 15 kilometres underground and ruptured the crust from west to east in a slightly north-easterly direction." GeoNet released an initial report of expected likely scenarios. Scenario 1 (Very likely): a normal aftershock sequence over the next few months. This means gradually diminishing size and frequency of seismic events. Scenario 2 (Likely): Possible rupture earthquake of magnitude 6 in North Canterbury and/or offshore. Scenario 3 (Unlikely): Another large earthquake above magnitude 7 within a month in the Marlborough and Cook Strait regions. GeoNet measured the quake at a magnitude of 7.5, although the United States Geological Survey said it was of a 7.8 magnitude and Geoscience Australia said the event was of a 7.9 magnitude. "There are a number of ways we can look at an earthquake," Mr Jaksa said. He said GeoNet relied on measuring close readings, which can "saturate" the measurement devices causing what he called "clipping". The first measurements from an earthquake are the "p-waves", which are compression waves travelling through the earth, much like sound waves. Mr Jaksa said these dispersion waves allow detection of a quake's location and an initial estimate of its size. Following the "p-waves" seismologists measure "s-waves", which are slower moving shear waves travelling perpendicular to the direction of the p-waves. Seismologists then measure even slower surface waves that shake the crust in rolling waves allowing a better understanding of the event. Mr Jaksa said GeoNet relied on more localised measurements, whereas Geoscience Australia incorporated more longer-period waves. USGS uses a similar method, explaining why the US and Australian agencies have issued similar magnitudes for the event. He said the NZ measurement was more like the older Richter scale, which measured amplitudes of seismic waves. The current scales incorporate measurements of earth movement. Ms Little said that GeoNet's use of local stations gave it a better ability to locate the epicentre and determine whether it was one or two seismic events. "We're pretty confident it was two," she said.20161114031700http://www.financialgazette.co.zw/new-zealand-earthquake-tsunami-arrives-after-powerful-tremor-hits/A tsunami has hit after an earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island.

Thousands of people have already evacuated their homes as aftershocks continue to hit the area, reported. Radio New Zealand The earthquake was felt across large swathes of New Zealand, including Wellington (aftermath pictured) Others have taken to social media to offer people a safe bed for the night. New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim. Christchurch is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre. The Herald newspaper said the tremor was felt all the way to Wellington, where sirens sounded and people fled buildings into the streets, some of them crying. Early reports suggested some houses in Cheviot town, near the epicentre, have been damaged. The Civil Defence Ministry has been dispensing advice over social media. But Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents and found “everyone seems okay”. He told RadioNZ: “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” suggests the earthquake may have been only a magnitude-5.5 tremor. A resident of Christchurch said the tremor lasted a “long” time. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up,” she told AFP news agency. On Twitter, Hayley Colgan described it as “the the most terrifying earthquake I think I’ve felt in my 23 years in New Zealand”. A magnitude-7.1 quake struck 169km (105 miles) north-east of Gisborne on the North Island in September, sparking a tsunami warning. It caused some damage to property, but no injuries.

The Chathams are a small group of islands about 400 miles east of Christchurch, the largest city in the south island. Christchurch suffered a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 that destroyed large parts of the central city and killed 185 people. Monday’s earthquake, which happened just after midnight local time, was centered in Culverden, about 60 miles north of Christchurch, and was 10 miles deep. Local media reported that six-foot-high waves were rolling into Kaikoura, a coastal city north of Christchurch, and at least one building had collapsed. Phone service and the power supply in Kaikoura appeared to be cut off. Tsunami sirens were reported blaring in the Wellington and Christchurch regions, and some highways were closed due to damage to the roads, Radio New Zealand reported.

The jolt, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the quake-prone South Pacific nation, hit just after midnight Monday near the South Island coastal town of Kaikoura. As dawn broke there was scant information from many nearby rural villages, which were isolated by landslips and fractured telephone communications as strong aftershocks continued. Prime Minister John Key confirmed two people had died and said "we cannot rule out" that number will rise. Police were trying to reach the scene of one fatality at a remote property 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of Christchurch while another person died in a historic homestead which collapsed at Kaikoura. "At this point we are unable to give precise details of what caused those fatalities," Key said, adding that communication problems made it difficult to give an accurate assessment. With roads blocked, a helicopter was taking a search and rescue team to Kaikoura, where aerial television footage showed huge landslips and at least one home destroyed. Key said military choppers had also been drafted in check the scale of destruction. "As soon as we can get a much better assessment of the actual damage then we can work out the next steps," he said. Soon after the earthquake, tsunami warning sirens were activated in South Island coastal towns and along the east coast of the North Island, with police and emergency workers going door to door to evacuate seaside properties. The ministry of civil defence, responsible for emergency management in New Zealand, initially warned of a "destructive tsunami" with waves of up to five metres (16 feet). The first waves were measured around two metres and four hours later authorities downgraded the warning, but said risks remained. The earthquake struck at 12:02am Monday (1102 GMT Sunday) and was 23 kilometres deep, the US Geological Survey said, putting the epicentre in the South Islands North Canterbury region. It ignited painful memories for residents in nearby Christchurch, which was devastated five years ago by a 6.3 tremor which killed 185 people. "It was massive and really long," Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the 2011 tremor which was one of New Zealands deadliest disasters. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up." Earthquake engineer Ken Elwood from the University of Auckland said the impact of the latest quake would have been much worse had it hit at lunchtime, like the Christchurch one. "When it happens in the middle of the day its a very different story," he told TVNZ. "People were safe in their homes, homes might get damaged but theyre safer for the people inside and thats certainly the blessing of this earthquake." The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks, with reports of damaged houses. - Significant shake - Marie Black, a local councillor who lives about 50 kilometres north of Christchurch, told the New Zealand Herald there were reports of damage to buildings in the North Canterbury region. "It was a significant shake, I have felt several aftershocks and it is very unnerving," she said. In the capital Wellington, where shattered glass littered inner city streets, rail and bus services were cancelled and people were advised not to commute to work Monday. Wellington resident Kevin Simonsen, 72, said he had never experienced such a strong quake. "It was a rolling motion, very violent," he told AFP. "It just went on and on. You could hear the building creak. It was quite scary and eerie." Mount Victoria, the citys highest point, was choked with cars in the early hours as residents from low-lying areas sought refuge from a possible tsunami. "I just packed up my kids and went up to my mums," Kylie Goodman said. In several cities guests were forced to evacuate hotels when the quake hit, including Nelson, about 200 kilometres from the quake centre where the touring Pakistan cricket team are staying. "Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake," team manager Wasim Bari told ESPNcricinfo.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated.

Cliff, who moved from Moncton 18 years ago and lives in the town of Blenheim, on New Zealand's South Island, recounted his ordeal after a near-sleepless night complete with a tsunami warning and frequent aftershocks. "When it kind of starts, there's just this violent shaking of the wooden frame of your house around you," the married 47-year-old said. "And you don't know. You're listening intently to the shaking. What is this rumbling noise? Is it just the house or is it something else? You're in the dark. You're trying to make some sense of where the noise is coming from and try to know what would be the right thing to do." A lesson from the Maritimes. Items crashed around the house, including drawers shaking out of a dresser, and the power went out. But Cliff and his wife, Robyn, can count themselves lucky for escaping unscathed: the 7.8-magnitude quake killed at least two people, including one person in Kaikoura, about 130 km away. In the moment of the quake, the couple responded to the shaking only by calling for their dog, Fern. Frequent Maritimes power outages taught Cliff to put on his shoes before walking around in the dark, he said. He eventually left the house and, despite tsunami warnings issued after the quake, never heard the telltale siren in Blenheim. "If we had heard that, we should have been running for the hills, literally," he said.​ New Zealanders dealt with aftershocks every two to five minutes at first, though those had slowed to every 15 or 20 minutes around daybreak Monday. 'You don't know' Cliff contacted family members in Saint John and Moncton, and used Facebook's safety check feature to say he was OK. Though he and his wife weren't hurt, there's an emotional toll. "Emotionally you're kind of on edge," he said. "You're in a heightened state of alert. You kind of hope, 'Oh that was the big one.' But you don't know." He said the earthquake — the most powerful he's experienced in New Zealand — gives him pause about how easy it could be to be trapped away from his wife if he was travelling for work. Cliff said the next step is to see if the quake did any significant damage to the house. Supermarkets seemed to take the worst of it Blenheim, he said. "It's a wine-drinking area. So there's just images of these beautiful bottles of red smashed all over the aisles." In a bit of a coincidence, Cliff said that when they fled the house they met somebody outside from McAdam, N.B., When asked if he had a message for people in New Brunswick, Cliff said, "Just let them know that Jamie Cliff is safe and sound in New Zealand and hope that the little quakes in McAdam ease as well."20161113213900https://www.yahoo.com/news/earthquakes-zealand-questions-064656158.html?ref=gsChristchurch (New Zealand) (AFP) - A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed two people and caused massive infrastructure damage in New Zealand on Monday.

Here are some facts about the seismically active nation known as the Shaky Isles: Why so few casualties? The key was distance from major population areas. In a devastating 2011 quake in nearby Christchurch, which left 185 dead, the shallow epicentre was very close to the city centre, causing large buildings to collapse which accounted for many of those who died. In contrast, Monday's quake was centred in a rural area around halfway between Christchurch and Wellington. Seismologists said the 2011 disaster also had more powerful high-frequency energy, lasting barely 10 seconds, while Monday's quake, despite having a higher magnitude, was deeper and of a lower frequency. This saw the energy released more slowly over a longer period -- up to two minutes -- as it travelled in a "rolling" motion along an estimated 200 kilometre (124 miles) fault line. So where does this quake rank? The quake, near Kaikoura, was measured at 7.8 by the US Geological Survey and 7.5 by New Zealand's official GeoNet service. Regardless of which figure is used, it still ranks as one of the largest ever recorded in the South Pacific nation. The biggest was an 8.2 monster that hit Wellington in 1855. The deadliest was a 7.8 tremor in Hawke's Bay in 1931 that claimed 256 lives. Using USGS's 7.8 figure, Monday's quake was the joint second strongest in New Zealand. GeoNet's 7.5 magnitude ranks it jointly as the sixth most powerful on record. How does NZ cope with so many quakes? New Zealand has strict building compliance codes that aim to limit quake damage and keep casualties to a minimum. Modern buildings such as "The Beehive" parliamentary complex in Wellington have complex foundation systems incorporating huge rubber blocks that allow it to shake without sustaining structural damage. Residential houses are generally built of timber, which flexes and bends in a quake, rather than collapsing like masonry. The system failed in the 2011 Christchurch quake simply because the fault line which caused the tremor was unknown before it ruptured, so authorities thought the city was relatively stable and did not impose the strict conditions used elsewhere. Can New Zealand expect 'the big one'? New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year. The most powerful to date was the 8.2-magnitude disaster in Wellington in 1855 that caused four deaths and changed the city's entire geography, pushing the shoreline out 200 metres (650 feet) as it thrust the harbour floor upwards. New Zealand's government-run GNS Science says on its website that the Alpine Fault, which runs for about 600 kilometres up the spine of the South Island, has a high probability of rupturing in the next 50 years. This will produce one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement. It has only ruptured four times in the past 900 years, each time producing an earthquake of about magnitude 8.0.20161114080100http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/tsunami-hits-new-zealand-after-series-of-strong-quakes/3285402.htmlWELLINGTON: A powerful 7.8 magniture earthquake struck central New Zealand just after midnight (1102 GMT Sunday), the U.S. Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island.

New Zealand's Civil Defence told residents along the country's entire east coast, including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham Islands, to move inland or seek higher ground. It did not say how tall the first wave was but warned that areas on the east coast close to the epicenter could expect waves of up to five meters. "The first wave may not be the largest. Waves may continue for several hours," the Civil Defence said on Twitter.

The USGS says that the centre of the quake was on land, 91km from the city which was badly damaged by one that measured 6.3 in 2011. It was initially measured 7.4 magnitude, but later revised upwards by the USGS. New Zealand's Geonet puts the magnitude at 7.5. The initial tremor was followed by several aftershocks, further north and also both inland - including a 6.2 magnitude about 28km northwest of Kaikoura and a 5.7 south-southeast of Bleinheim. New Zealand's Geonet, which describes itself as the official source of geological hazard information for the country, listed dozens of quakes between 6.6 and 3.8 after midnight local time. There have been widespread reports on social media of damage to buildings and other structures. Image: USGS. On their website, the NZ Civil Defence warned: "A tsunami has been generated. Waves are expected to arrive at the Chatham islands immediately - anyone in the Chathams should move to high ground urgently. "The first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island and it may arrive in Eastern Coast of the North and South Islands of New Zealand shortly (including Wellington, Christchurch and the Chatham Islands)." The relatively shallow first quake occurred at a depth of 10km. Shallow tremors are said to be felt more strongly on the surface. Strong jolts were reported over 200km away in the capital, Wellington, where at least one tweeter posted pictures of damage to their home. Witnesses in Christchurch have said that the tremors lasted for a longer time that previous quakes but were less intense. It is thought the epicentre is not densely populated but is popular with tourists. The February 2011 tremor was just a few miles outside of New Zealand's third biggest town and caused widespread damage and left 185 people dead.20161113143800http://www.news18.com/news/world/tsunami-hits-new-zealand-after-series-of-strong-quakes-1311602.htmlPeople evacuated from buildings along Dixon Street stand on the street in Wellington after a 6.6 earthquake based around Cheviot in the South island shock the capital, New Zealand, Monday, Nov. 14, 2016.

(Photo: AP) Wellington: An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck central New Zealand just after midnight (1102 GMT Sunday), the U.S. Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island. New Zealand's Civil Defence warned residents along the country's entire east coast to seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.20161113185100http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/two-people-killed-in-major-new-zealand-earthquake/news-story/4d1ef7a566fd188923233fa5206431afDAMAGE.

Continue to full gallery Schools from North Canterbury to Wellington have been asked to stay closed until they can be checked for damage. The Wellington CBD resembles a ghost town today with many workers staying away from the downtown area while streets are cleared of debris and buildings are checked. The central city sustained minor damage in a series of smaller quakes in 2013. Residents rushed to the hills that ring the city early Monday when the tsunami alert was issued. Many said on social media they were reluctant to return to sea level after the fright. Kaikoura and several small South Island towns have been left isolated, with water and sewerage systems down and roads and rail lines blocked, as aftershocks and landslides continue. Power was cut to many towns and cities in the upper South Island lower North Island, but is slowly being restored. The worst affected may still be without power into Tuesday. The cost of the earthquake is expected to run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Seismologist Caroline Little told Newshub the earthquake had “30 times” more energy than the February 2011 one, but the energy release was spread over a much wider area. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Sunrise he had spoken with Mr Key. “I assured him of absolute solidarity and support from Australia. John appreciated that. He knows that we support them when it comes to emergencies and natural disasters.” He said he passed on Australian condolences for the two people killed. “But obviously, it is early days. He is a great leader. New Zealand is very experienced with dealing with earthquakes, and I am sure he will have the matter in hand.” The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand’s emergency call number, 111, police reported. Near the epicentre, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Authorities in Wellington were urging people who work in the centre of the city to stay home today. City officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress, and that the quake would likely have caused a mess in some buildings. The city’s suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. High winds and rain was forecast to hit affected areas tonight which is expected to complicate the recovery effort. the winds, which could reach speeds higher than 100km/h, have the potential to further destabilise damaged buildings. Those caught up in the quake said they feared for their lives. Pam Bennett from Amberley told TVNZ the quake was the worst she’d ever felt. : “I was asleep and all off a sudden I was woken to my bedroom shaking. It just went on and on and there was a moment when I genuinely thought that this was it, that my life was going to end.” Ms Harcourt said she ran out of her bedroom and hid for cover under a table. “As soon as the trembling stopped my boyfriend and I ran outside and saw heaps of people and families gathered together,” she said. “Everyone is in complete shock … it’s terrifying.” There were reports that houses in Cheviot, near where the quake was centred in Canterbury, were badly affected by the shake. Photos and videos posted to social media showed shelves overturned inside homes, wine bottles smashed on the ground of stores and people out on the street following the initial quake. The earthquake is the third over 7 magnitude since 2009 to shake the South Island. Scientists told New Zealand media while that was “unusual” it was within expectations in a historical context. THE SHAKY ISLES. Why so few casualties? The key was distance from major population areas. In the devastating 2011 quake in nearby Christchurch, which left 185 dead, the shallow epicentre was very close to the city centre, causing large buildings to collapse which accounted for many of those who died. In contrast, Monday’s quake was centred in a rural area around halfway between Christchurch and Wellington. Seismologists said the 2011 disaster also had more powerful high-frequency energy, lasting barely 10 seconds, while today’s quake, despite having a higher magnitude, was deeper and of a lower frequency. This saw the energy released more slowly over a longer period — up to two minutes — as it travelled in a “rolling” motion along an estimated 200 kilometre (124 miles) fault line. So where does this quake rank? The quake, near Kaikoura, was measured at 7.8 by the US Geological Survey and 7.5 by New Zealand’s official GeoNet service. Regardless of which figure is used, it still ranks as one of the largest ever recorded in the South Pacific nation. The biggest was an 8.2 monster that hit Wellington in 1855. The deadliest was a 7.8 tremor in Hawke’s Bay in 1931 that claimed 256 lives. Using USGS’s 7.8 figure, Monday’s quake was the joint second strongest in New Zealand. GeoNet’s 7.5 magnitude ranks it jointly as the sixth most powerful on record. How does NZ cope with so many quakes? New Zealand has strict building compliance codes that aim to limit quake damage and keep casualties to a minimum. Modern buildings such as “The Beehive” parliamentary complex in Wellington have complex foundation systems incorporating huge rubber blocks that allow it to shake without sustaining structural damage. Residential houses are generally built of timber, which flexes and bends in a quake, rather than collapsing like masonry. The system failed in the 2011 Christchurch quake simply because the fault line which caused the tremor was unknown before it ruptured, so authorities thought the city was relatively stable and did not impose the strict conditions used elsewhere. Can New Zealand expect ‘the big one’? New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year. The most powerful to date was the 8.2-magnitude disaster in Wellington in 1855 that caused four deaths and changed the city’s entire geography, pushing the shoreline out 200 metres (650 feet) as it thrust the harbour floor upwards. New Zealand’s government-run GNS Science says on its website that the Alpine Fault, which runs for about 600 kilometres up the spine of the South Island, has a high probability of rupturing in the next 50 years. This will produce one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement. It has only ruptured four times in the past 900 years, each time producing an earthquake of about magnitude 8.0. — from AFP.20161114101200http://www.themalaymailonline.com/world/article/some-facts-on-earthquakes-in-new-zealandA truck drives over the fractured road caused by an earthquake south of the New Zealand town of Ward on the South Island November 14, 2016. — Reuters pic CHRISTCHURCH, Nov 14 — A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed two people and caused massive infrastructure damage in New Zealand today.text/html2016-11-14T09:21+0100themalaymailonlineenthemalaymailonline-08b16b6533f85b042051b3596172a69dNaturalDisastersEarthquakesET_EarthquakeFRET_EarthquakePTCPSI-NaturalDisastersET_Man_Made_Disaster_ExtraordinaryENET_EarthquakeROAustraliaNewZealandhttp://www.themalaymailonline.com/favicon.pngUS Geological SurveyChristchurchWellingtonNew ZealandWellingtonKaikouraAlpinePacificCanRingWard-16A truck drives over the fractured road caused by an earthquake south of the New Zealand town of Ward on the South Island November 14, 2016. — Reuters pic CHRISTCHURCH, Nov 14 — A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed two people and caused massive infrastructure damage in New Zealand today.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck just after midnight in a mostly rural area that is dotted with small towns. Near the epicenter, it opened up fissures in roads and triggered landslides. It caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north and was strongly felt in the city of Christchurch to the south. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes and was followed by strong aftershocks. Prime Minister John Key said officials had no reason to believe the death toll would rise. “On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it’s only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don’t have perfect eyes on, so we can’t be 100 percent sure,” he said. Key said that waves of about 6.6 feet had hit the coast but that the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand’s emergency call number, 111, police reported. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Authorities in Wellington were urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home Monday. City officials said that some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would probably have caused a mess in some buildings. The city’s suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand’s worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. Although Monday’s quake was stronger, its epicenter was much farther from any major urban areas. Location, depth and other factors beyond magnitude all contribute to the destructive power of an earthquake. New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami struck about 1:50 a.m. and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country’s east coast to move to higher ground. The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it did not expect the quake to generate a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami. Within New Zealand, there was confusion about the tsunami threat throughout the morning. The ministry initially said there was no threat but later wrote on Twitter that the “situation has changed — tsunami is possible” before reporting that a tsunami had hit. The quake was far less violent than the one that struck Christchurch in 2011, said Hannah Gin, a 24-year-old lifelong resident of the city, adding that there was no jarring up and down or side to side, just a long, rolling sensation. But it went on for much longer than the typical quakes that strike the area, she said. She was less concerned about running for cover than she was about vomiting from the motion sickness, she said with a chuckle. She said that her house, which was damaged in the 2011 quake, did not appear to have sustained any new damage from Monday’s temblor. In Wellington, 132 miles north of the quake’s epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows were smashed and some chimneys collapsed. The quake was centered 57 miles northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS initially estimated that the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.4 before revising it to 7.8. It said the quake struck at a depth of 14 miles, after initially putting the depth at six miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they are shallow. New Zealand, with a population of 4.7 million, sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific where earthquakes are common. — Associated Press.20161113234000http://www.vancouversun.com/news/world/zealander+calgary+rattled+deadly+christchurch+earthquake/12383097/story.htmlIt was a case of history repeating for New Zealand-born Sophie Fearn, who awoke to news of a deadly earthquake in Christchurch on Sunday.

Fearn was living in Europe when a deadly quake killed 185 people and destroyed much of downtown Christchurch in 2011. Now living in Calgary, Fearn feared the worst after learning of Sunday’s earthquake, desperately trying to contact her parents who recently traveled to New Zealand from Australia. “I was relating it back to (2011), because that was a lot scarier,†Fearn said. “This morning I just felt kind of nauseous . . . I knew they were somewhere in New Zealand, I just didn’t know where they were, so I started feeling quite panicky.†After making posts on social media, Fearn was able to contact her family. Fortunately, her parents were out of the city at the time of the quake and both were uninjured. Not everyone escaped the quake so lucky. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has confirmed t wo people were killed when the magnitude-7.8 earthquake hit just before midnight Sunday. Multiple injuries have also been reported. “On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it’s only likely to be two,†Key said. “ But, of course, there are isolated parts of the country that we don’t have perfect eyes on, so we can’t be 100 per cent sure.†The quake lasted about three minutes and shocks were felt in the capital of Wellington more than 200 kilometres away. Power was knocked out in parts of Wellington, and New Zealand’s emergency call number was temporarily out of service. Near the epicentre, the quake triggered landslides, caused fissures in roads and damaged many buildings. Multiple aftershocks and at least three tsunami waves were triggered by the quake, with a  two-metre wave hitting the town of Kaikoura on  the South Island, 180 kilometres northeast of Christchurch. Kasey Murphy lives in Brooks and is traveling across New Zealand with three other Albertans. The group was on a ferry from Wellington to Picton when the earthquake hit, leaving them stranded on the boat for almost 15 hours. “The captain made an announcement about not being able to dock because of some power issue,†Murphy said. “That’s when we heard about the earthquake, and concerned friends and family started messaging.†While on the boat, Murphy said she could feel aftershocks and large waves caused by the quake. The department of civil defence warned people along New Zealand’s east coast to move to higher ground. The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it does not expect the quake to generate a destructive, Pacific-wide tsunami. Sarah Stuart-Black with the department of civil defence applauded New Zealanders for evacuating from the most damaged areas, and said the public has remained calm throughout the incident. “Your strength, trust and willingness to do the right thing not only helps to keep people safe, but makes our jobs and the jobs of other emergency services much easier.†We encourage all readers to share their views on our articles and blog posts.

Emergency response teams were already flying by helicopter to the region at the epicenter of the original 7.8 magnitude quake, which struck just after midnight some 91 km northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. New Zealand's capital Wellington was a virtual ghost town with workers ordered to stay away while the local council assessed the risk to buildings. Severe weather with 140kph gale-force winds was forecast for the area, which could cause more damage, such as from glass loosened by the tremors. The new tremor, a 6.2 quake recorded at about 1.45 p.m. local time, was the most powerful of hundreds of aftershocks in the South Pacific country. It rattled frayed nerves in an area where memories of a deadly 2011 quake are still fresh. Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's ruggedly beautiful South Island, is still recovering from the 2011 quake, which measured 6.3 magnitude and killed 185 people. Power lines and telecommunications are down, and daylight revealed sizeable cracks in roads and damage to infrastructure after the original quake just after midnight shook New Zealanders from their beds. “It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington,” Prime Minister John Key told reporters at a dawn news conference from the parliament's underground bunker in the capital city. “There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure.” New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's first quake at magnitude 7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. The quakes and aftershocks rattled buildings as far away as the New Zealand capital, Wellington, 300 km to the northeast. Key said he hoped to travel to the tourist town of Kaikoura, about 150 km northeast of Christchurch and which appeared to have borne the brunt of the quake. New Zealand's Civil Defense declared a state of emergency for the Kaikoura region soon after Monday's large aftershock. A tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations after the original quake was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch. There were no new tsunami warnings issued after the 6.2 aftershock. New Zealand lies in the seismically active “Ring of Fire”, a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region.20161114083700http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tsunami-pummels-new-zealand-after-series-of-strong-quakes_us_58287270e4b060adb56edd73WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND ― An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one meter (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicenter, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated.

Pakistan's men cricket team was preparing to sleep when powerful tremors forced them to move out of hotel rooms in Nelson. "We were at the 7th floor of hotel, as soon tremors were felt we took emergency staircase to evacuate from hotel," said one team member who wished not to be named. "We all are safe and currently having a walk, and we are still feeling the aftershocks," said the player while speaking to Geo News 20 minutes after the earthquake. Players of Pakistan women team were equally panicked due to the earthquake and were evacuated from the rooms in Christchurch. Pakistan cricket team captain Sana Mir tweeted recently about the safety of the female players in New Zealand. All team members and staff is safe. Thanks for all your prayers and concern. Sana Mir (@mir_sana05) November 13, 2016 "It was horrible, the building was shaking badly," said a player of women team on condition of anonymity. "We were on 13th floor, and were evacuated after the tremors, we are still observing some aftershocks," she said. Pakistan's men Cricket team was scheduled to fly for Christchurch from Nelson on Monday, but following the earthquake team's travel plan looks uncertain at the moment. Meanwhile, Basit Ali of head coach of Pakistan women Cricket team told Geo News that some players were scared after the tremors. "It was so horrible and players were scared, we immediately moved out of hotel, players were without slippers even," Basit Ali told Geo. "Thanks to Allah that we all are out safely," he added.⁠⁠⁠⁠ An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck central New Zealand just after midnight (1102 GMT Sunday), the US Geological Survey said, generating a tsunami that hit the northeast coast of the South Island.

The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the nation’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science, said a tidal signal or surge of up to 1m had been recorded in the North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand (RNZ). The quake was centered 91km north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A magnitude 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The quake was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported, but there were no immediate reports of deaths, the ministry said. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told RNZ from her home in Takaka, on the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door-to-door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he said. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated.

On its Facebook page, the Civil Defense agency said Monday the tsunami threat has passed but warned that coastal areas may still witness strong tidal currents and sea level fluctuations for hours. The hypocenter of the powerful quake was located at a depth of 23 km (14.3 miles) and 53 km northeast of Amberley, according to the United States Geological Survey which records seismic activity worldwide. The tsunami alert came shortly after the quake, and authorities said small tsunamis were witnessed in the country's South Island, the site of the temblor and several aftershocks. One person died of a heart attack, and another man lost his life after he was buried beneath the rubble of a house that collapsed in Kaikoura, one of the worst-affected regions. Damage to buildings and roads was also been reported from the region of Canterbury on the South Island, and the city of Wellington, located south of the North Island, said TVNZ network. Earthquakes are frequent in New Zealand due to the country's location on the boundary between two tectonic plates - the Pacific and the Australian. The country experiences around 14,000 - mostly mild - earthquakes each year, but around 100-150 are large enough to be felt.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck in a mostly rural area close to the city of Christchurch but appeared to be more strongly felt in the capital Wellington, more than 120 miles away. The quake was followed by a number of strong aftershocks. It knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, for about 10 minutes, police reported. It caused items to fall from shelves and windows to break in Wellington, and forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1.50am and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The ministry had earlier sent out a message on Twitter saying there was no tsunami threat to the country. It then sent out another message - "situation has changed - tsunami is possible" - before reporting that a tsunami had, in fact, hit. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake brought back memories of a magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck the city in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people in one of New Zealand's worst disasters. Monday's quake was centred farther away from the one in 2011.

The New Zealand government's GeoNet website reported it as severe and it was felt throughout the country. There were no immediate reports of damages from the latest quake. A Christchurch Police spokeswoman said the only call they had initially regarding the earthquake was a hole in the road in Hundalee, North Canterbury. She said there hadn't yet been any calls about damage in Christchurch. "Just be careful on the roads in case there's damage," she said. St John Ambulance said they had no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre (EOC)", they said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready." A resident in the seaside Nelson suburb of Tahunanui said the power had been cut after the quake.

It triggered waves of 2.49 meters (8 feet) above usual tide levels, the highest New Zealand had seen in at least 38 years, Philip Duncan of Weather Watch New Zealand said. An initial tsunami warning was lifted but temblors continued Monday afternoon. A 6.2-magnitude quake struck around 1:30 p.m. 39 kilometers west-southwest of Kaikoura, further north of Christchurch. New Zealand is a South Pacific nation of islands, the two largest being the North and South islands, which are home to most of the population. Aftershocks from South Island reverberated all the way to Wellington, the country's capital on the North Island, where residents were told to stay indoors Monday. 'It's going to be a long night' In Christchurch, memories of a devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 are still fresh for many. That quake killed 185 people and injured thousands, and reduced swaths of the city's historic area to rubble. "The land has been very peaceful for many, many months. So this is bringing back all the rare memories," said Chet Wah, owner of Designer Cottage B&B in Christchurch. "I just checked with all the guests. They are alright. It is scary. It's going to be a long night." Christchurch, on the South Island's eastern coast, has a population of more than 340,000 people, the most recent census shows. Powerful aftershocks. Images on social media showed shattered windows, toppled grocery items on the floor of a supermarket and water sloshing back and forth in swimming pools from different parts of the country. Mark A'Court, owner of the Fresh Choice in Nelson City, posted security video footage on Facebook showing wine bottles falling from shelves at his store. A photo of a road with a deep, wide crack down its middle served as sobering evidence of the temblor's force. "This is the strongest [earthquake] I've ever felt," Tamara Hunt said. She was with her husband at their home in Whanganui when the earthquake struck. "It started off so small, like the cat moving in the bed, but then it started building and I had to run to the door. Stuff in the house was falling over and the doors were swaying really bad," she said. "Then we decided to get out, and that's when we saw our pool had lost a lot of water. The earthquake went on for two minutes." The South Island has been hit by a flurry of aftershocks, according to the USGS and New Zealand's Geonet service, some with a magnitude above 6.0. Officials from the island's second-largest town, Dunedin, called a state of emergency there. Life in a 'collision zone' The USGS initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.4 at a depth of just 10 kilometers -- shallow enough to cause serious destruction to the immediate surrounding area. It later revised the quake strength to 7.8, but changed its depth to 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) , giving more of a buffer between the epicenter and the Earth's surface. New Zealand is regularly hit by earthquakes, because it sits in a "collision zone" between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates.

The quake struck some 93 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch just after midnight local time on Monday, the US Geological Survey reported. It triggered waves of 2.49 meters above usual tide levels, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) said. "This is the highest tsunami wave (that) New Zealand has seen in at least 38 years," said Philip Duncan of Weather Watch New Zealand. The tsunami warning has now been lifted. New Zealand is a South Pacific nation of islands, the two largest being the North and South islands, which are home to most of the population. Slightly more than 1 million people live in the South, while the North has more than 3 million. 'It's going to be a long night' In Christchurch, memories of a devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 are still fresh for many. That quake killed 185 people and injured thousands, and reduced swathes of the city's historic area to rubble. "The land has been very peaceful for many, many months. So this is bringing back all the rare memories," Chet Wah, owner of Designer Cottage B&B in Christchurch, told CNN. "I just checked with all the guests. They are alright. It is scary. It's going to be a long night." Christchurch, on the South Island's eastern coast, has a population of over 340,000 people, the most recent census shows. Powerful aftershocks. Images on social media showed shattered windows, toppled grocery items on the floor of a supermarket and water sloshing back and forth in swimming pools from different parts of the country. Mark A'Court, owner of the Fresh Choice in Nelson City, posted security video footage on Facebook showing wine bottles falling from shelves at his store. A photo of a road with a deep, wide crack down its middle served as sobering evidence of the temblor's force. "This is the strongest [earthquake] I've ever felt," Tamara Hunt told CNN. She was with her husband at their home in Whanganui when the earthquake struck. "It started off so small, like the cat moving in the bed, but then it started building and I had to run to the door. Stuff in the house was falling over and the doors were swaying really bad," she said. "Then we decided to get out, and that's when we saw our pool had lost a lot of water. The earthquake went on for two minutes." The South Island has been hit by a flurry of aftershocks, according to the USGS and New Zealand's Geonet service, some with a magnitude above 6.0. Officials from the island's second-largest town, Dunedin, called a state of emergency there. Life in a 'collision zone' The USGS initially reported the quake's magnitude at 7.4 at a depth of just 10 kilometers -- shallow enough to cause serious destruction to the immediate surrounding area. It later revised the quake strength to 7.8, but changed its depth to 23 (14.2 miles) kilometers, giving more of a buffer between the epicenter and the Earth's surface. New Zealand is regularly hit by earthquakes as it sits in a "collision zone" between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. It is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped belt around the ocean's edges where many earthquakes and volcano eruptions occur.20161113210300http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/cae69a7523db45408eeb2b3a98c0c9c5/Article_2016-11-13-AS--New%20Zealand-Earthquake-The%20Latest/id-09ffc70ab1654982b83e3871ba5d8557WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Latest on a strong earthquake that has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand (all times local): 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides.text/html2016-11-13T17:41+0100APenAP-689255bf70c527354bada7bfad8f8367CivilProtection_generalNaturalDisastersCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesmdmaseizureNewZealandhttp://h2branding.ap.org/ftphosted/Customdesign/mnTmpl/favicon.icoChristchurchWellingtonNew ZealandWellington-26WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Latest on a strong earthquake that has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand (all times local): 5:30 a.m. A powerful earthquake that struck New Zealand's South Island has opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand's worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.20161113174100http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/new-zealand-earthquake-tsunami-warning-after-strong-tremors-shake-south-island-20161113-gsofrj.html5:28am 2.5-metre wave recorded.

November 13, 2016 According to Weatherwatch.co.nz, a a gauge at Kaikoura, 181 kilometres north of Christchurch, measured a wave of 2.5 metres in the early hours of the morning. At one point, the New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management suggested tsunami waves as tall as five metres could hit the east coast. But by 5.30am local time, the warning was scaled back to waves of three metres in certain areas. This information was issued 15 minutes ago: "There is a tsunami marine and beach threat from Napier to north of Dunedin, Cook Straight coastal areas and The Chatham Islands. The threat for all other regions has been lifted. All previous threat regions will experience unusually strong currents for some time." Those areas can expect "unusually strong currents and unpredictable water flows near the shore. This means a threat to beach, harbour, estuary and small boat activities. The severity of currents and changing water flows will vary within a particular coastal area and over the period this warning is in effect." See the 5:21am Residents urged to stay home. November 13, 2016 Authorities in New Zealand's capital Wellington are urging people who work in the centre of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake. Wellington city officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress and that the quake would like have caused damage to some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. The 7.8-magnitude quake struck early Monday, just after midnight. 5:18am November 13, 2016 Latest measurement of the earthquake. The US Geological Survey says it has reviewed the available data, which indicated the earthquake was 7.8 magnitude and struck at a depth of 23 kilometres, 53 kilometres north north-east of Amberley in New Zealand. The quake occurred as the result of "shallow oblique-reverse faulting on or near the boundary between the Pacific and Australia plates in South Island, New Zealand", the US Geological Survey said.

Thousands of people on the country's east coast fled after a warning to move to higher ground. The quake, which measured 7.5 in magnitude, led to waves up to two metres high, including in the Kaikoura area. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town, while another died in Mount Lyford, a nearby ski resort. The Civil Defence Ministry had described the tsunami as "an event of life-threatening or national significance". It tweeted: "A tsunami has been generated, the first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island." "If you are in a low lying area on the East Coast of the North, South or Chatham Islands move immediately to higher ground." The country's PM, John Key, later said the tsunami warnings had been downgraded to coastal warnings. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters to the epicentre of the quake - 57 miles (91km) north of the South Island city of Christchurch. Mr Key also told reporters that a military helicopter was heading to Kaikoura. The quake hit just after midnight local time. The initial tremor was followed by aftershocks, including several above magnitude 6. Sirens sounded in Christchurch - badly damaged by in a deadly 6.3-magnitude quake in 2011 - and police have set up road blocks to stop people returning to lower-lying areas. Strong jolts were also felt in Wellington, some 120 miles (200km) north and there was gridlock on roads leading to Mount Victoria - a hill overlooking the capital. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," said Wellington resident Howard Warner Officials said there was structural damage to some buildings in Wellington and people were being warned to say away from the central business district. The train network was closed for checks but the airport was still operating normally. New Zealand's Geonet, which describes itself as the official source of geological hazard information, listed dozens of quakes between 3.8 and 6.6. Hugh Sintes, from Christchurch, told Sky News: "My wife had gone off to the bathroom, I had just lay down on my bed and all of all of a sudden the bed started wobbling and it got more and more intense. "And I thought 'okay this is getting a bit serious'. It continued on and on - it got quite concerning." The relatively shallow first quake occurred at a depth of nine miles (15km). Shallow tremors are felt more strongly on the surface. Rick Kiesseg said on Twitter: "Primary New Zealand #earthquake lasted about a minute. Long, long, long shake and roll. About 17 aftershocks so far, biggest mag 6.1" The February 2011 earthquake hit just a few miles outside Christchurch, New Zealand's third biggest city, causing widespread damage and leaving 185 people dead. New Zealand lies on the boundary of two tectonic plates and is on the so-called 'Ring of Fire' - an area prone to earthquakes. The country experience as many as 15,000 tremors a year. 11:38pm 13th November 201620161114051600http://wwlp.com/ap/nowhere-to-mooove-3-cows-stranded-by-new-zealand-earthquake/WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Three New Zealand cows looked like they could use a little help Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass.

Earthquakes Tsunamis TWO FATALITIES HAVE been reported following a powerful 7.8 earthquake which struck New Zealand police said, as officials warned there may be others. Prime Minister John Key said that at least people are known to be dead. Police said they were trying to reach a remote property 150 kilometres north of Christchurch where a casualty “believed to be a fatality,” has been reported. Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee said there were also reports of casualties at the nearby South Island coastal town of Kaikoura but details were unclear. Local media reported emergency services were searching for a missing person in a collapsed homestead near Kaikoura. A second person who had been thought missing in the building was found alive. The quake struck just after midnight on Sunday night local time (12.02 pm Sunday Irish time) and was 23 kilometres deep, the US Geological Survey said after revising its initial estimate which had rated the tremor slightly weaker but much shallower. It ignited painful memories for residents in Christchurch which was devastated five years ago by a 6.3 tremor which killed 185 people in one of New Zealand’s deadliest disasters. “It was massive and really long,” Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the deadly 2011 tremor. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up.” The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks and there were reports of damaged buildings in the small rural township of Cheviot near the epicentre.

In a brief message the Prime Minister John Key tweeted: “I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight.” The ambulance service said it did not receive any reports of quake-related injuries however people took to social media to report damage with goods tipped from shelves and shattered glass littering streets. “Family friends in Cheviot say some houses are gone,” one person tweeted. Marie Black, a local councillor who lives about 50 kilometres north of Christchurch, told the New Zealand Herald there were reports of damage to buildings in the North Canterbury region. “It was a significant shake, I have felt several aftershocks and it is very unnerving,” she said. The ministry of civil defence, which urged people in eastern coastal areas to move to higher ground said “a destructive tsunami is possible. “The first wave may not be the largest. Waves may continue for several hours,” it said. Simon Morton, a radio presenter in the capital city Wellington, said he had evacuated his house after noticing the tide dropping away. Other people had joined him in going to higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist with the GNS Science, the government’s earthquake monitoring service, said the quakes were close to the coast and there had been tidal movement up to one metre (three feet) in the South Island town of Kaikoura. “It’s reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously,” she said. However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that based on available data “a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected.” In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

At least two people were killed and roads and buildings damaged in the earthquake, which set off hundreds of strong aftershocks. The tremor struck 91km northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. "It's just utter devastation, I just don't know ... that's months of work," New Zealand Prime Minister John Key told Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee after flying over the coastal town of Kaikoura, according to Mr Brownlee's Twitter account. He described landslips in the area as "just horrendous". In a statement, Mr Key said of the likely damage bill: "You've got to believe it's in the billions of dollars to resolve." Power lines and telecommunications were down, with huge cracks in roads, land slips and other damage to infrastructure making it hard to reach the worst-affected areas. A tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations after the original quake was downgraded after large swells hit New Zealand's capital Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch. Wellington was a virtual ghost town with workers ordered to stay away while the city council assessed the risk to buildings, several of which were damaged by the tremor. Severe weather with 140km/h, gale-force winds was forecast for the area. Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island, is still recovering from the 6.3 quake in 2011 that killed 185 people. New Zealand's Civil Defence declared a state of emergency for the Kaikoura region, centred on a tourist town about 150km northeast of Christchurch. Kaikoura, a popular spot for whale watching, appeared to have borne the brunt of the quake. "Our immediate priority is ensuring delivery of clean water, food and other essentials to the residents of Kaikoura and the estimated 1,000 tourists in the town," Mr Brownlee said. The Navy's multi-role vessel HMNZS Canterbury was heading to the area, he said. Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) said a 20-person rescue team and two sniffer dogs had arrived in the town. A second team was on standby in Christchurch, USAR said in a statement. Hours after the quake, officials said a slip dam caused by the quakes that had blocked the Clarence River north of the town had breached, sending a wall of water downstream. "Residents are urgently advised to move to higher ground immediately," RNZ quoted a statement from the Marlborough District Council as saying. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90% of the world's earthquakes occur within this region.20161114081200http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/7-4-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-near-Christchurch-New-Zealand-USGS/articleshow/55400609.cmsWELLINGTON: An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck 91 km (57 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand at 1102 GMT on Sunday, the said.

US Geological Survey New Zealand civil defence said tsunami was possible after the earthquake and recommended residents on the east coast to move to higher ground. "The first wave activity may not be the most significant," it said, adding tsumanmi activity would continue for several hours. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The Christchurch Civil Defence Emergency Management said in a Facebook post, "We are currently gathering situational awareness and will share information as it comes in. At this stage, there have been no significant reports of damage across the city. Expect aftershocks and look after those around you." The New Zealand government's GeoNet website said the quake was "felt widely" throughout the country and warned citizens to watch out for aftershocks. Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, said the shaking lasted a "long" time. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up," she told AFP. She said there was no sign of damage on her street and the power was still on, adding that she was worried about towns and villages closer to the epicentre. "We're getting aftershocks at the moment. We're going to stock up on water supplies just in case." In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center had earlier said that there was no tsunami threat from Monday's quake.20161113152400http://www.cbsnews.com/news/powerful-magnitude-7-earthquake-christchurch-new-zealand/WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A magnitude-7.4 earthquake struck near Christchurch, New Zealand, leading to tsunami activity, officials said Sunday.

The scope of damage an size of the tsunami is not yet clear. The first tsunami wave struck several hours after the temblor. The tsunami threat is for the east coast of all New Zealand (including Christchurch, Wellington and the Chatham islands) MCDEM (@NZcivildefence) November 13, 2016 The New Zealand Civil Defence Ministry warned that the first tusnami waves may not be the worst, and that tsunami activity could continue for several hours. The magnitude-7.4 quake struck just after midnight Sunday and was centered 57 miles northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 6 miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they’re shallow. New Zealand is part of a geologically active region that’s often called the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. A 2011 earthquake in the city of Christchurch destroyed much of the downtown and killed 185 people. In 2014, a magnitude-6.7 earthquake struck off the New Zealand coast and rattled much of the country but resulted in few damages or injuries. © 2016 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.

There have been reports of injuries after the 12:02 a.m. quake. Radio New Zealand quoted St. John Ambulance as saying it is attending to injured people in the north Canterbury area and is getting reports of injuries from areas including Culverden and Kaikoura, both on the South Island. Details of the injuries were not immediately known. Local media reported that at least one building had collapsed in Kaikoura near the quake’s epicenter, north of Christchurch, where a magnitude-6.3 quake struck nearby in February 2011, killing 185 people. Television New Zealand reported, quoting GeoNet, the country’s source of geological hazard information, that tsunami of 2 meters or more have been recorded in Kaikoura and will hit other parts of the South Island soon. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami of up to about 1 meter were recorded. The Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management warned people to stay away from beaches anywhere in the country, while warning of waves of up to 5 meters along the coast near the quake’s epicenter. The ministry warned people to stay away from beaches and urged them to immediately move to higher ground. “First waves have arrived but may not be the largest,” the ministry said in a tweet. The initial temblor occurred about 93 km north-northeast of Christchurch and at a depth of 23 km. It was followed by many aftershocks, the largest being magnitude-6.5, according to USGS. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science, told Radio New Zealand that the quake was “definitely” felt across the nation. The New Zealand Herald newspaper said in its online edition that there are reports that houses in Cheviot near the quake’s epicenter were badly affected. Radio New Zealand also said there were reports of power outages and damage to roads and bridges. The national broadcaster said too, citing police, damage was caused in the capital Wellington. But the runway at the airport there was not damaged and is unlikely to be affected by tsunami, and flights will operate as usual, Radio New Zealand quoted an airport spokeswoman as saying. The USGS initially put the magnitude at 7.4 and the quake’s depth at 10 km. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially did not issue a warning. Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region at the epicenter of the 7.8-magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurc, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. Prime Minister John Key told a dawn news conference in the capital of Wellington, where the quake was also felt strongly, that two people had been killed. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. “It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington,” Key told reporters, although he stopped short of calling a national emergency. “There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure.” Emergency officials were meeting later on Monday morning, added Key. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslides. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city. The first tremor, just 23 km (14 miles) deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3-magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand’s Geonet measured Monday’s quake at magnitude-7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active Ring of Fire, a 40,000-km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur within this region. St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to Kaikoura, where at least one of the casualties was located. The South Island town, a popular destination for whale watching, was completely cut off and officials said there were reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, where frequent aftershocks continued to be felt hours after the first quake, residents heading for higher ground caused gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington International airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurch, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centers were accepting residents. Police set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defense Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centered inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to tsunami.20161113230000http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2016/11/14/93786334/Raw: New Zealand Earthquake Strands Cows.

Today’s earthquake struck just after midnight in a mostly rural area that’s dotted with small towns. Near the epicenter, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and triggered landslides. New Zealander Simon Leeming, of Canterbury, N.H., works for New Zealand’s consulate in New England and was in Christchurch in 2011, when it was hit by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand’s worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. “The whole room erupted. The floor was bulging up and down. The walls were bulging up and down. ... I thought I was going to die,” recalled Leeming. Leeming said his 28-year-old daughter experienced the earthquake from her apartment in Wellington. “It was very scary for her. The first shake went on for two or possibly three minutes.” New Zealand, with a population of 4.7 million, sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. Although today’s quake was stronger than in 2011, its epicenter was deeper and much farther from major urban areas. Location, depth and other factors beyond magnitude all contribute to the destructive power of an earthquake. It caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north and was also strongly felt in the city of Christchurch to the south. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mount Lyford, a nearby ski resort. John Ebel, senior research scientist at Boston College’s Weston Observatory, which has been recording earthquakes since 1930, said New Zealanders might have to cope with aftershocks for months. He said a 7.8-magnitude earthquake is rare, occurring once or twice a year. “The people who live near the epicenter of the earthquake will be feeling dozens of earthquakes over the next few days. The earthquake activity will die away. ... But over the next several months, there is a possibility for potential damaging aftershocks,” Ebel said. Prime Minister John Key said waves more than 6.5 feet high hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities.

The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) posted several messages on Twitter: "A tsunami has been generated, the first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island." "Waves are expected to arrive at the Chatham islands immediately - anyone in the Chathams should move to high ground urgently," MCDEM also warned on Twitter. The Chatham Islands form an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean about 680km southeast of mainland New Zealand. It consists of about 10 islands within a 40-km radius, the largest of which are Chatham Island and Pitt Island. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. According to the GeoNet online service, the initial quake struck 15 km deep and 15km north-east of Culverden. Twitter reports from locals spoke of “enormous” shaking felt in Wellington and Cheviot, as they started posting photos online of the damage. The quake was centered near the town of Amberley, according to the US Geological Survey. GeoNet also reported another quake of a 4.9 magnitude striking near Wellington, as well as other quakes hitting Taihape, Martinborough, Seddon and Turangi.

New Zealand’s civil defense and emergency management issued a warning for people living close to the coast to move inland, to higher ground. The earthquake struck about 50 miles north of the town of Christchurch. Elliot Fim, a regional official, said in a telephone interview that there were no reports of damage, injuries or fatalities there. The fire department was dealing with a large number of emergency calls seeking assistance. Mr. Fim said that people living along about 200 miles of coastline, from the small township of Kiakora and southward, had been evacuated. Some roadways and a building were reported damaged, but people had been able to move to high ground. Dan Jaksa, a duty officer from Geoscience Australia, said that if the small townships to the north of Christchurch did not have earthquake-resistant buildings, “it is going to be tough.” Photo. Mr. Jaksa said the earthquake ruptured from west to east, with shocks moving toward the capital, Wellington, which is on the south coast of New Zealand’s North Island. “Let’s hope this is it, and there’s no more,” he said. “Every time you go up one magnitude, say from 6.3 to 7.3, it is 32 times larger in terms of the energy released,” Mr. Jaksa said. This earthquake was about 40 to 50 times bigger than the one in Christchurch in 2011, he said. After the initial 7.9 shock, there was an aftershock measuring 6.1, and then several more shocks, with three of those measuring in the high fives, he said. The earthquake occurred in the Hikurangi Trench, a subduction zone where one tectonic plate slides under another. New Zealand’s North Island and the northern part of New Zealand’s South Island are on the Pacific plate, which is moving west, while the Australian plate is largely moving north. “This is the zone where the Pacific plate goes underneath the Australian plate,” Mr. Jaksa said, adding that the shift had caused a change in the seafloor that resulted in tsunami waves.20161113161500http://www.cbsnews.com/news/strong-aftershocks-rattle-new-zealand-following-deadly-earthquake/The quake caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north.

It was also strongly felt to the south in the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt. Lyford, a nearby ski resort. There were also reports that several people had suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Prime Minister John Key was traveling to Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon. The prime minister said waves of about 6.6 feet hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities. “On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it’s only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don’t have perfect eyes on, so we can’t be 100 percent sure,” he said. Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because the nation’s regions were able to adequately cope with the situation. U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby told CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan that all U.S. personnel in the capital Wellington have been accounted for in the wake of the earthquake. Sec. John Kerry had left the country before it struck, and just landed in Singapore on his way to Oman when news of the quake was reported. Kirby later released a statement saying Kerry had spoken by phone to New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully to offer condolences for the loss of life in the earthquake, and wished well all those who suffered injuries. “The Secretary praised the skill of New Zealand’s first responders and dedicated medical professionals, who reacted so quickly, and he offered whatever U.S. assistance might be required,” Kirby said in a statement. Fissures run along a road by the Centre Port in Wellington, Monday, November 14, 2016, after a major earthquake struck New Zealand’s south island early Monday. The quake completely cut off road access to Kaikoura, said resident Terry Thompson, who added that electricity and most phones were also down in the town of 2,000, a popular destination for tourists taking part in whale-watching expeditions. Thompson was out of town but managed to reach his wife by cellphone during the night before her phone died. “She said the glass exploded right out of the double ranch-slider,” he said. “The neighbor’s chimney was gone, there were breakages and things smashed everywhere.” His wife helped a 93-year-old neighbor and a tourist into her car and drove to higher ground, he said. “They stayed in the car all night but couldn’t sleep,” Thompson said. “They’re all very, very tired and concerned about the state of their property.” The main road to Kaikoura was blocked in places by landslides, and police were working to airlift out a few tourists stranded in their campervans to the north and south of the town, according to emergency services officials in the nearby Marlborough region. Kaikoura suffered “major infrastructure” damage in the quake, the Marlborough Emergency Management Group said in a statement. Sewage and water supplies were knocked out, though power was gradually being restored Monday afternoon. Police were in radio communication with the town and mobile phone service was expected to be restored shortly. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand’s emergency call number, 111, police reported. In Wellington, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. Australians Paul and Sandra Wardrop and their children Alexander, 15, and William, 12, were on the 10th floor of the Park Hotel when the shaking began. “We felt that the building was going to collapse,” Sandra Wardrop said. “You could hear the sounds of the building shaking and see cracks appearing in the walls, in the plasterwork in the bedroom.” The family was among dozens of people who took shelter in the capital’s parliamentary complex, which threw open its doors. It was William’s 12th birthday, and while he didn’t get to tour Wellington as planned, he did get to meet Key, who visited the displaced tourists. New Zealand, with a population of 4.7 million, sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. Monday’s quake brought back memories of the magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011 and destroyed much of the downtown area. That quake was one of New Zealand’s worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. Monday’s quake was stronger but its epicenter was deeper and much farther from major urban areas. Location, depth and other factors beyond magnitude all contribute to the destructive power of an earthquake. Authorities in Wellington were urging people who work in the city’s central business district to stay home on Monday. Officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress, and the quake would likely have caused a mess in some buildings. The city’s suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels.20161114044200http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/tsunami-hits-new-zealand-following-74-magnitude-earthquake/article32832130/An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand’s Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. USGS said the quake was centred 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city’s southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island.20161113154400http://dailytimes.com.pk/sports/14-Nov-16/pakistan-cricketers-escorted-out-of-hotel-after-new-zealand-earthquakeKARACHI: Pakistan cricket team, who are currently in New Zealand for a two-match Test series, has been escorted off their hotel in Nelson after an earthquake of 7.4 magnitude struck Christchurch and adjoining areas on Sunday.

According to media reports, the squad was escorted out of their hotel and no casualties have been reported so far. There are reports of aftershocks in the area and Pakistan players will be waiting in a designated safe zone until it is safe to go back inside their hotel. “We are currently at Nelson and were scheduled to leave for Christchurch today morning but couldn’t depart due to the earthquake,” Waseem Bari, Manager Pakistan cricket team said while speaking to Pakistan media over telephone yesterday. The manager went on to say that the Pakistan Embassy contacted the team members and offered support. “Members of the Pakistan women’s team, who are also in New Zealand for a five-match ODI series, were also safe,” Bari quoted the Pakistan Embassy officials as saying. The Misbahul Haq-led side are scheduled to play their first Test in Christchurch on November 17. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat from Monday’s quake. “Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake. The whole room began to shake. We were on the sixth and seventh floor, and evacuated immediately. The hotel staff was very helpful. We are all safe,” the former Pakistan wicketkeeper said. Women cricket team skipper Sana Mir tweeted about the safety of the players in New Zealand. Tsunami warning: New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths.20161114020200http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/86418860/university-exams-cancelled-few-reports-of-damage-across-manawatuShe had heard that her final exam could be cancelled completely and she was hoping this would happen.

On Monday afternoon, the university said all exams will go ahead as scheduled from tomorrow. Those canned today might not have to be re-sit. University operations, international and university registrar assistant vice-chancellor Stuart Morriss said such an approach was fair and efficient. "Rather than asking all students whose exams were postponed to re-sit at a later date, we will in almost all cases use internal assessment grades to determine an outcome," he said. "There may be some courses where this is not practical, but we will talk directly to those students if necessary. "Students who would prefer to the sit the postponed examination will be able to apply to do so and this will be considered based on the circumstances. "Similarly, students who sat the exam today but feel they were adversely affected by events leading up to it – or by this decision – will be able to apply for an alternative assessment." Power outages across region. Fire Service Manawatu area commander Mitchell Brown said about 25 people would travel to Wellington on Monday morning to help with Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) operations. The Palmerston North-based teams will be helping with building-damage assessments in the city. A support crew from Palmerston North and Whanganui will also be travelling to Wellington. Brown said there had been few reports of building damage in Palmerston North overnight. However,Bunnythorpe lost power between 12am-6am. Powerco says 7000 homes in Manawatu and 8000 in Whanganui lost power because of the quake. Power outages were reported in Tokomaru, Newbury, Aokautere, Linton, Rangiotu, Pahiatua, Ballance, Feilding and Cheltenham. At 2.20pm, according to Powerco's website, 48 homes in Feilding were without electricity and 97 in Pahiatua. Feilding and Pahiatua were expected to regain power about 4pm. Power was lost to 679 houses in Rongotea about 1pm due to the earthquake, but has since been restored, a Powerco spokeswoman said. According to Electra's website, about 60 houses in Horowhenua had reported power outages. The earthquake also caused a Foxton water main to burst and Horowhenua District Council maintenance contractors were working to repair it on Monday. The water supply from the Foxton water tower reservoir has been shut down to allow for the repairs and get the supply back operating as soon as possible. Roading staff were inspecting the district's roads and bridges, and Levin's council building was also being checked. So far there were no issues. KiwiRail has also cancelled all trains south of Palmerston North, including the morning Capital Connection commuter service. KiwiRail has not responded to requests for information about the cancellation. A tsunami warning and evacuation for Herbertville and Akitio was reduced to a marine and beach threat. Weather to turn. School NCEA exams are going a head as normal, however, New Zealand scholarship exams have been cancelled, NZQA's website states. The scholarship examinations have been postponed at all schools and exam centres. Flights and operations are running as normal at Palmerston North airport, Airways New Zealand's head of public affairs, Emily Davies said. An Air New Zealand spokesman said there were no delays and flights were running "hunky dory" from Palmerston North. A Jetstar spokesman said there were no earthquake related issues with its service. A severe weather warning was issued by MetService for Manawatu and Whanganui on Monday, with heavy rain and gale force winds expected from early evening until Tuesday morning. MetService said it was possible northerly winds would reach severe gale force, with gusts of 120 kmh or more expected in Manawatu and Whanganui. A heavy rainfall warning was also issued for the Tararua Range, the headwaters of the Whanganui River and Ruapehu. Buildings and structures checked. Palmerston North City Council engineers are on Monday morning checking local roads, council facilities and bridges for earthquake damage and at this stage no major issues have been uncovered. Council city enterprises general manager Ray McIndoe says the Fitzherbert Bridge was checked. "There was some superficial damage to a handrail, but there are no other concerns and the bridge has been deemed safe." McIndoe said the council's main building suffered minor damage, including to the air conditioning system's cooling tower. "Repairs are being undertaken right now." A council structural engineer has finished a visual inspection to the main building and has found it is safe. "He'll be making checks on other council facilities as well," McIndoe said. Water services staff members are inspecting the city's main water source, the Turitea Dam. "The dam and reservoirs are safe. They'll also be looking at the city bores and pump stations. Right now, everything is operating as normal." McIndoe suggested property owners check their buildings for damage. MidCentral DHB's services, including Palmerston North Hospital and Horowhenua Health Centre, are continuing to operate as normal, across the district. A MidCentral spokesman said engineering and facilities staff evaluated buildings at both sites immediately after the earthquake, focusing on patient areas first. No significant damage was found. A further detailed evaluation of both sites was done later on Monday morning. No major damage has been identified. Palmerston North mayor Grant Smith has offered assistance to the Wellington City Council and three Palmerston North structural engineers might go down later today or tomorrow. Palmerston North City Council chief executive Paddy Clifford knows the earthquake-struck area well, as former chief executive for the Hurunui District Council. "I feel for Kaikoura. It's cut off right now, but the will come back and will have support from around the county." So far two have been confirmed dead as a result from the earthquake. after a homestead collapsed in Kaikoura, while another person died at a property in Mount Lyford. Clifford was involved in setting up the executive group for Civil Defence in the district and was confident systems were in place to cope. "They have good staff on all the councils and Civil Defence will be pulling it all together." The Palmerston North City Council was prepared to help wherever that was needed. "This is not the big one. But it really was a wake up call for all of us to be prepared." Palmerston North's All Saints Church, which has been closed to the public for three and a half years because of its poor earthquake rating, has come through Monday's quake unscathed. Priest and spokesman for the church's strengthening and enhancement project John Hornblow said a visual inspection of the old building revealed a little disturbed dust, but no other effects. "That's quite remarkable given that was the biggest earthquake we have had." Hornblow said it was heartening that the heritage building had been able to withstand the shake. "It underscores the importance of us strengthening the building."20161114042000http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/13/new-zealand-hit-by-7-5-magnitude-earthquake-just-outside-christchurch-6254983/Our chimney thought it would introduce itself to the neighbours Richard Bicknell (@dickbicknell) November 13, 2016 People in New Zealand are being urged to head to high ground or inland as far as possible after a powerful earthquake struck outside Christchurch.

A tsunami warning has been issued by the country’s government after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck – more powerful than the 2011 quake which measured 6.3. The government said: ‘People near the eastern coast of the south island should immediately move to high ground or inland as far as possible. ‘Take your getaway kit with you if possible. Do not travel into the areas at risk to get your kit or belongings. Take your pets with you if you can do so safely. ‘Move immediately to the nearest higher ground, or as far inland as you can.

Walk or bike if possible and drive only if essential.’ Richard Bicknell (@dickbicknell) November 13, 2016 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that Facebook has now launched its safety check for people to let others know they are safe. The US Geological Survey measured the quake at 7.5 – much more powerful than the 2011 quake which measured 6.3 on the Richter scale. It was later revised upwards to magnitude 7.8. People said that the quake felt incredibly powerful and lasted for a long time and it was so strong it could be felt 120 miles away in the capital of Wellington. Power in some parts of the country has been going on and off since the quake struck just after midnight local time (11.02am GMT) In 2011 an earthquake struck New Zealand killing 185 people and destroying large parts of the city and its infrastructure.

There was no immediate danger of a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. It was at a relatively shallow depth of six miles and was followed by numerous powerful aftershocks ranging from magnitude 5.7 to 7.4. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they’re shallow. New Zealand sits on the ‘Ring of Fire,’ an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

A second earthquake, initially measured as magnitude 6.8 but revised down to 6.2, struck the South Island hours afterward, but there were no reports of deaths or injuries. Hours after the initial quake, Marlborough District Council warned residents to flee to high ground immediately after a Slip Dam on the Clarence River breached, sending a large wall of water downstream. Two people were killed in the quake, with Prime Minister John Key telling reporters authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two," Mr Key said. "But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100 per cent sure." New Zealand's Geonet measured the first quake at magnitude 7.5, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.8. Mr Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because the nation's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt Lyford, a nearby ski resort. There were also reports that several people had suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Mr Key was travelling to Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon. The Prime Minister said waves of about 2 metres hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. Marlborough District Council said in a statement that police were working to rescue travellers stranded to the immediate north and south of Kaikoura. "It's understood the occupants of at least half a dozen campervans to the north of Kaikoura are due to be airlifted to the Ward Welfare Centre," the statement said. "Those stranded to the south of the town will be airlifted further south." The Marlborough District's Civil Defence said it would be daybreak before there was a clearer picture of the situation and helicopters would do a sweep of coastal areas as work begins to assess the damage. Evacuation centres were set up at locations across the affected area. Roads, railways damaged after quake. The earthquake caused major damage to infrastructure. Road and rail links in the north of the island were closed after land slippages and cracking. Regional Civil Defence controller Richard McNamara said one of the biggest problems would be rebuilding. "It's our opinion that they're going to be out for quite some time. You only have to look at photos in the media and on social media to tell you that there is a huge amount of damage on state highway one and the main trunk line," he said. Power was out and phone lines down in many parts of the country. The quake temporarily knocked out New Zealand's emergency call number, 111, police reported. The powerful quake hit just after midnight (local time), with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings more than 200 kilometres away in the capital, Wellington. Soon after the quake, Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science, said a tidal signal or surge of up to 1 metre had already been recorded in the North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no immediate danger of a broader Pacific-wide tsunami from the quake. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Channel 7 this morning that he had called his New Zealand counterpart to offer assistance. "I spoke with John Key a few moments ago. I assured him of absolute solidarity and support from Australia," he said. "He knows that we support them when it comes to emergencies and natural disasters." Effects felt as far as Wellington. Authorities in Wellington were urging people who work in the city's central business district to stay home on Monday. Officials said some large buildings were showing signs of structural stress, and the quake would likely have caused a mess in some buildings. The city's suburban rail network was shut while crews checked tracks, bridges and tunnels. Radio New Zealand said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. Local media reported landslips and extensive damage to roads. Earthquake 'scarier than normal' ABC journalist Tom Maddocks was staying in Christchurch at the time of the quake and was evacuated from a hostel in the area. He said the coastal suburb of New Brighton, some 10 kilometres from Christchurch, had been swiftly evacuated. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake's epicentre, said officials had gone door-to-door evacuating residents. "Everyone seems OK here. There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened," he told Radio New Zealand.20161114054600http://www.dailyjournal.net/2016/11/13/as-new-zealand-earthquake-the-latest/WELLINGTON, New Zealand The Latest on a strong earthquake that struck New Zealand (all times local): 5:40 a.m. Authorities in New Zealand’s capital are urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake.text/html2016-11-13T17:49+0100dailyjournalendailyjournal-3ba68255dc56238300c1c39c63262407CivilProtection_generalNaturalDisastersCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesmdmaseizureNewZealandhttp://www.dailyjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/DailyJournal-Icon-1280x1280-150x150.pngChristchurchWellingtonNew ZealandWellington-23WELLINGTON, New Zealand The Latest on a strong earthquake that struck New Zealand (all times local): 5:40 a.m. Authorities in New Zealand’s capital are urging people who work in the center of the city to stay home on Monday following a powerful earthquake.

While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people.

New Zealand's Civil Defence warned residents along the country's entire east coast to seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centred 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths.

The double World Cup winner, now a commercial helicopter pilot, flew rescue and reconnaissance missions to Kaikoura after being woken in his Christchurch home by the powerful 7.8 quake. Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake five years ago, is 182 kilometres (113 miles) south of Kaikoura which bore the brunt of the latest destruction. "Like everyone else, I got woken up at midnight ... yeah a bit scary," he told the New Zealand Herald after taking search crews from Christchurch to Kaikoura and ferrying rescuers to remote properties to check on residents. He said he saw "big cracks in the road, cracks in the side of the hills, and obviously slips". "At one point, the railway was way out over the sea. It had been pushed out by slips. It would not have been a nice place to be at midnight last night." The severe quake, which was felt across most of New Zealand, claimed two lives and caused massive infrastructure damage.20161114072000http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/world/1134420/new-zealand-issues-tsunami-warning-after-powerful-quakeWELLINGTON - New Zealand issued a tsunami warning for southern coastal areas Monday, following a powerful 7.4 earthquake near the South Island city of Christchurch around midnight.

US Geological Survey Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat from Monday's quake. The Christchurch Civil Defence Emergency Management said in a Facebook post, "We are currently gathering situational awareness and will share information as it comes in. At this stage, there have been no significant reports of damage across the city. Expect aftershocks and look after those around you." The New Zealand government's GeoNet website said the quake was "felt widely" throughout the country and warned citizens to watch out for aftershocks. Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, said the shaking lasted a "long" time. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up," she told AFP. She said there was no sign of damage on her street and the power was still on, adding that she was worried about towns and villages closer to the epicentre. "We're getting aftershocks at the moment. We're going to stock up on water supplies just in case." In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

The department of civil defense warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.20161113144900http://www.independent.ie/world-news/australasia/new-zealand-police-confirm-two-people-killed-as-thousands-flee-homes-after-tsunami-hits-35211240.html"We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it will rise, but we can't rule that out," Key told reporters in Wellington, adding that details of the casualties were still being confirmed.

A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake and a series of aftershocks shook New Zealand in the early hours of Monday, generating a tsunami and sending thousands of people fleeing for higher ground. Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region that bore the epicentre of the quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. There were no immediate reports of deaths. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, roads were blocked by landslips and the Civil Defence Ministry warned that waves of up to five metres (yards) remained a risk for several hours. "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been," said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. "Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming that may be bigger than what has come before." The first tremor, just 15 kms deep, struck the island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's quake at magnitude 7.5. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000 kilometre arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region. St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. It is completely cut off and officials said there are reports of a collapsed building. "There are some reports of casualties but the picture will be clearer as day breaks," Acting Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee said. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city, as residents headed for higher ground. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington international airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurh, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centres were accepting residents. Police have set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centred inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.20161113192900http://www.reuters.com/article/us-quake-newzealand-idUSKBN1380CIWELLINGTON A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake and a series of aftershocks shook New Zealand in the early hours of Monday, generating a tsunami and sending thousands of people fleeing for higher ground.

(Photo by Marco Garcia/Getty Images) WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings over 200 kilometres (120 miles) away in the capital, Wellington. New Zealand emergency services warned that a tsunami was possible and told people near the coast of the South Island to move to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the magnitude-7.4 quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometres (132 miles) north of the quake’s epicenter, power was knocked out in some places, and some windows smashed and some chimneys collapsed. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch. The quake, which struck just after midnight Sunday, was centred 93 kilometres (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres (6 miles). Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they’re shallow. The quake brought back memories of a 2011 earthquake that struck Christchurch, destroying much of the city and killing 185 people. But Monday’s quake was much farther away from any major population centres.

"We are staying at a hotel in Nielsen, where we were playing our tour match but today when the earthquake came it was a terrifying experience as everything was shaking badly and we were safely escorted out of the hotel," Bari said from New Zealand. The hotel staff took great care of us and quickly evacuated us from our seventh floor rooms and have now taken us to a safe zone until the Tsunami warnings are over. Pakistan's only 3-day tour match before the first test at Christchurch from November 17 was also washed out on the final day on Sunday in Nielsen and Bari said this had deprived the players a great opportunity to acclimatise to the conditions in New Zealand. "Most of the players were in their rooms watching the India and England test match when it came, the quake was a powerful one and the windows and doors were banging around and it was shaking as we were rushed out. But everyone has settled down now and we also called up the women's team in Christchurch to find out if they were okay," the former Test captain said. Pakistan is in New Zealand for a two-test series while the women's team is also in New Zealand for a five match one-day series and are already three down in the rubber. Bari said the Pakistan team would reach Christchurch on Monday and hoped the weather would hold up. "It rained throughout our stay in Nielsen so we are hoping to see some sunshine and clear weather in Christchurch. Obviously, if conditions are wet it is not to our liking," he said. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat from Monday's quake. Bari said that the Pakistani players were looking forward to the challenge of continuing their good test form in New Zealand and Australia as well. "We have a very settled side for Tests and I think we are very well prepared this time for the different conditions even though our tour match was washed out completely," he added.20161113163500http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/powerful-quake-strikes-christchurch-n-z-article-1.2871279?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NydnRss+%28Top+Stories+-+NY+Daily+News%29WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch early Monday, generating a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island, officials said.

Here are some facts about the seismically active nation known as the Shaky Isles: Why so few casualties? The key was distance from major population areas. In a devastating 2011 quake in nearby Christchurch, which left 185 dead, the shallow epicentre was very close to the city centre, causing large buildings to collapse which accounted for many of those who died. In contrast, Monday's quake was centred in a rural area around halfway between Christchurch and Wellington. Seismologists said the 2011 disaster also had more powerful high-frequency energy, lasting barely 10 seconds, while Monday's quake, despite having a higher magnitude, was deeper and of a lower frequency. This saw the energy released more slowly over a longer period -- up to two minutes -- as it travelled in a "rolling" motion along an estimated 200 kilometre (124 miles) fault line. The quake, near Kaikoura, was measured at 7.8 by the US Geological Survey and 7.5 by New Zealand's official GeoNet service. Regardless of which figure is used, it still ranks as one of the largest ever recorded in the South Pacific nation. The biggest was an 8.2 monster that hit Wellington in 1855. The deadliest was a 7.8 tremor in Hawke's Bay in 1931 that claimed 256 lives. Using USGS's 7.8 figure, Monday's quake was the joint second strongest in New Zealand. GeoNet's 7.5 magnitude ranks it jointly as the sixth most powerful on record. How does NZ cope with so many quakes? New Zealand has strict building compliance codes that aim to limit quake damage and keep casualties to a minimum. Modern buildings such as "The Beehive" parliamentary complex in Wellington have complex foundation systems incorporating huge rubber blocks that allow it to shake without sustaining structural damage. Residential houses are generally built of timber, which flexes and bends in a quake, rather than collapsing like masonry. The system failed in the 2011 Christchurch quake simply because the fault line which caused the tremor was unknown before it ruptured, so authorities thought the city was relatively stable and did not impose the strict conditions used elsewhere. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year. The most powerful to date was the 8.2-magnitude disaster in Wellington in 1855 that caused four deaths and changed the city's entire geography, pushing the shoreline out 200 metres (650 feet) as it thrust the harbour floor upwards. New Zealand's government-run GNS Science says on its website that the Alpine Fault, which runs for about 600 kilometres up the spine of the South Island, has a high probability of rupturing in the next 50 years. This will produce one of the biggest earthquakes since European settlement. It has only ruptured four times in the past 900 years, each time producing an earthquake of about magnitude 8.0.20161114075600http://www.newstalk.com/reader/47.301/86584/0/New Zealand has been hit by hundreds of strong aftershocks since a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck in the early hours of Monday.

The initial quake damaged roads and buildings, and sparked a tsunami warning which sent thousands of people fleeing to higher ground. It was originally measured at a magnitude of 7.5 and killed two people, including one of a heart attack. As dawn broke on Monday, emergency response teams flew helicopters to the areas thought to be worst-affected by the quake, which had its epicentre about 91km northeast of Christchurch in the country's South Island. A military helicopter and surveillance aircraft were sent to the small coastal town of Kaikoura, which was left inaccessible by road. Aerial footage showed railway tracks ripped up and tossed 10 metres by the quake's force while landslips dumped hundreds of tonnes of debris onto the main highway. Electricity and phones were also down in the town of 2,000 residents which is well known among tourists as a base for whale-watching trips. Meanwhile, officials said that the Clarence River slip dam near Kaikoura was breached early Monday afternoon local time, with nearby residents told to get to higher ground as a large wall of water headed downstream. According to the New Zealand Herald , more than 250 aftershocks hit the South Island and lower North Island in the 12 hours since the quake. Among these was a 6.2 aftershock which struck at about 1.45pm local time (00.45am Irish time) around 10km northeast of Christchurch, according to the US Geological Survey. Many businesses have been closed for safety checks, as have schools between north Canterbury and Wellington, despite many secondary school students being due to sit exams. After the first quake, the country's east coast saw waves of up to two metres high but New Zealand's PM, John Key, later said that early tsunami warnings had been downgraded to coastal warnings. Strong jolts were also felt in Wellington, some 200km north, where people have been told to stay away from the city centre. Australian tourists Paul and Sandra Wardrop and their children Alexander, 15, and William, 12, were on the 10th floor of the Park Hotel when the shaking began. Mrs Wardrop said: "We felt that the building was going to collapse. "You could hear the sounds of the building shaking and see cracks appearing in the walls, in the plasterwork in the bedroom." Police are investigating at least three cases of evacuees' homes being looted. Mr Key has cancelled a trip to Argentina that had been planned for Tuesday, saying: "I believe it is better that I remain in New Zealand in the coming days to offer my assistance and support until we have a better understanding of the event's full impact." He said that the damage bill was expected to be at least "a couple of billion dollars". Earlier he had spoken from parliament's underground bunker in the capital city, saying the quake "was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington". Speaking of the damage in his own office, he said: "The damage is unbelievable. "It must have been really moving, there's just broken glass, pottery, televisions, computers - everything's gone south in a major way." The quake brought back memories of one in February 2011, which hit just a few kilometres outside Christchurch, New Zealand's third-largest city, causing widespread damage and killing 185 people. New Zealand lies on the boundary of two tectonic plates and is on the so-called 'Ring of Fire' - an area prone to earthquakes.

The quake was 91 km north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. New Zealand has issued a tsunami warning for southern coastal areas. "The first wave activity may not be the most significant," said the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand's emergency management. But it cautioned that tsunami activity would continue for several hours. Shortly after that warning, the civil defence organisation said in a Twitter update that residents should "move inland or to higher ground immediately." The strong tremor was reportedly felt throughout New Zealand. It knocked out power in some areas and sent people into the streets of the capital Wellington. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island.

New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. New Zealand's Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. USGS said the quake was centred 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. "Everyone seems OK here," he told RNZ. "There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened." Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city's southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. "We've got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves," he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island.

That's months of work,"-12The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the South Island just after midnight on Sunday in a mostly rural area dotted with small towns. Near the epicentre, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and sparked landslides. But New Zealand was largely spared the devastation it saw five years ago when a deadly earthquake struck the same region. Sunday's quake caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north. It was also strongly felt to the south in the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt Lyford, a nearby ski resort. Several other people had reportedly suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Prime Minister John Key flew over the destruction in Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. Cars could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. "It's just utter devastation. ... That's months of work," Mr Key told acting civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He estimated the clean-up would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to Kaikoura on Tuesday. The prime minister said waves of about two metres hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100% sure," he said. Mr Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because New Zealand's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation.20161114060400http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/article114601148.html#navlink=SecListThree New Zealand cows looked like they could use a little help Monday after an earthquake triggered landslides all around them and left them stranded on a small island of grass.

A tsunami warning has been issued by the country’s government after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck – more powerful than the 2011 quake which measured 6.3. The government said: ‘People near the eastern coast of the south island should immediately move to high ground or inland as far as possible. ‘Take your getaway kit with you if possible. Do not travel into the areas at risk to get your kit or belongings. Take your pets with you if you can do so safely. ‘Move immediately to the nearest higher ground, or as far inland as you can.

People said that the quake felt incredibly powerful and lasted for a long time and it was so strong it could be felt 120 miles away in the capital of Wellington. Power in some parts of the country has been going on and off since the quake struck just after midnight local time (11.02am GMT) In 2011 an earthquake struck New Zealand killing 185 people and destroying large parts of the city and its infrastructure. Facebook has now launched its safety check for people to let others know they are safe. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries. There was no immediate danger of a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

"We don't have any indications at the moment to believe it [death toll] will rise, but we can't rule that out," Mr Key told reporters in Wellington, adding that details of the casualties were still being confirmed. Mr Key said a military helicopter was being dispatched to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura, near the epicentre of the quake, some 91kms north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island. The earthquake also generated a tsunami and sent thousands of people fleeing for higher ground. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, roads were blocked by landslips and the Civil Defence Ministry warned that waves of up to five metres remained a risk for several hours. "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been," said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. "Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming that may be bigger than what has come before," said Ms Stuart-Black. The first tremor, just 15kms deep, struck the island nation after midnight local time, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand's Geonet measured this earthquake at a magnitude of 7.5. New Zealand lies in the seismically active 'Ring of Fire', a 40,000 kilometre arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90% of the world's earthquakes occur within this region. St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. It is completely cut off and officials said there are reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city, as residents headed for higher ground. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," Wellington resident Howard Warner said after evacuating his seaside house. I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight. @NZcivildefence is looking into the impact of the quake. Follow them to stay updated.

Emergency response teams were already flying by helicopter to the region at the epicentre of the original 7.8 magnitude quake, which struck just after midnight some 91 km (57 miles) northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. New Zealand's capital Wellington was a virtual ghost town with workers ordered to stay away while the local council assessed the risk to buildings. Severe weather with 140 kph gale-force winds was forecast for the area, which could cause more damage, such as from glass loosened by the tremors. The new tremor, a 6.2 quake recorded at about 1.45 p.m. local time (0045 GMT), was the most powerful of hundreds of aftershocks in the South Pacific country. It rattled frayed nerves in an area where memories of a deadly 2011 quake are still fresh. Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's ruggedly beautiful South Island, is still recovering from the 2011 quake, which measured 6.3 magnitude and killed 185 people. Powerlines and telecommunications are down, and daylight revealed sizeable cracks in roads and damage to infrastructure after the original quake just after midnight shook New Zealanders from their beds. "It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington," Prime Minister John Key told reporters at a dawn news conference from the parliament's underground bunker in the capital city. "There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure." New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's first quake at magnitude 7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. The quakes and aftershocks rattled buildings as far away as the New Zealand capital, Wellington, 300 km (185 miles) to the northeast. Key said he hoped to travel on Monday to the tourist town of Kaikoura, about 150 km (90 miles) northeast of Christchurch and which appeared to have borne the brunt of the quake. New Zealand's Civil Defence declared a state of emergency for the Kaikoura region soon after Monday's large aftershock. A tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations after the original quake was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch. There were no new tsunami warnings issued after the 6.2 aftershock. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region.20161114045700http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/powerful-earthquake-hits-christchurch-new-9251440The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island.

An earthquake of magnitude 7.4 has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand. The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. It struck in the early hours of Monday morning in Christchurch which was reduced to rubble by an earthquake just five years ago. Today's earthquake measured much more powerfully on the Richter scale than 2011's 6.3 measurement. Locals took to social media to show pictures and videos of their devastated homes.

New Zealand’s Civil Defence issued a tsunami warning, advising residents on the South Island’s east coast to seek higher ground. The quake was 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island.20161113133500http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/11/13/magnitude-7-4-earthquake-strikes-near-christchurch-new-zealand-usgs/An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand’s Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier.

Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city’s southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.

More than 1300 properties are affected, although some areas of New Plymouth, including Westown, had power restored by 3am on Monday. Information on the Powerco website said it hoped to restore electricity to all sites by 3pm at the latest. READ MORE: While the earthquake was widely felt by people in the region, there have been no official reports of damage. Sergeant Ross Wright said New Plymouth police had not received any calls from the public about the earthquake. New Plymouth senior station officer Steve Dombroski also said no calls had been lodged around the city and he was not aware of any major damage in other parts of the region. "We've got away pretty lightly," he said. Taranaki Civil Defence senior emergency management officer Shane Briggs said people should expect aftershocks, some of which would be strong, and should ensure items in their homes are safe and secure. He said while he was not aware of any major damage being reported, a few buildings in the district had suffered superficial damage but had been subsequently checked over by engineers. Taranaki residents took to Facebook to share their experiences of the quake overnight. Petreena Taylor described the earthquake as very scary. "Wow that was big for sure felt it up Carrington Rd. Felt like the house was going to fly away," she posted. Codie Roberts shared Taylor's fear. "I hate how big and scary this was. Completely shaken and wide awake now." A tsunami warning for the country was issued in the wake of the quake, but has since been been downgraded. A marine and beach threat is in place for parts of New Zealand, from Napier to the north of Dunedin, Cook Strait coastal areas and the Chatham Islands. While the threat had been lifted in Taranaki, Briggs said people should exercise caution around the coastline as unusual tidal activity was expected. - Stuff.20161113215400http://wsau.com/news/articles/2016/nov/13/strong-earthquake-strikes-near-christchurch-new-zealand-usgs/By Charlotte Greenfield.

The new tremor, measuring 6.3 in magnitude, hit at 1.35pm local time today (12.45am GMT), in Cheviot, northeast of Christchurch. A 7.8 magnitude quake struck in the same area, around 60 miles from Christchurch , just after midnight in New Zealand on Monday, causing a six-foot high tsunami. It was felt in the capital Wellington, more than 120 miles away. The earthquakes have been followed by close to 400 aftershocks, including one that struck at 5.8 magnitude at 7.45pm local time today. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has confirmed the deaths , while the department of civil defence has warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground after tall waves battered the area. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.

New Zealand’s Civil Defence warned residents along the country’s entire east coast to seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one meter (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “It was massive and really long,” Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the deadly 2011 tremor. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up.” In a brief message the Prime Minister John Key tweeted: “I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight.” The ambulance service said it did not receive any reports of quake-related injuries. However, the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand’s emergency management said a tsunami was possible. “The first wave activity may not be the most significant,” it said in a bulletin, adding tsunami activity would continue for several hours. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist with the GNS Science, said the government’s earthquake monitoring service, the quakes were close to the coast. “They’ve been quite large. We’ve also seen a signal on the tide gauge at Kaikoura which is up to one metre (three feet) so it’s reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously.” However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that based on available data “a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected.” In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.20161113144500http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/tsunami-hits-new-zealand-after-74-magnitude-quakeA tsunami warning alert is seen on a notice board above State Highway 1 in New Zealand’s Wellington early on Nov 14, following an earthquake centred some 90 kilometres north of Christchurch.

In Wellington, the capital, it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. It also forced hundreds of tourists onto the streets as hotels were evacuated. The full extent of the damage from the quake, which struck early Monday, just after midnight, is unlikely to be known before daybreak. While there were no immediate reports of serious injuries in Wellington or Christchurch, the quake brought back memories of the magnitude-6.3 earthquake that struck Christchurch in 2011, destroying much of the downtown area and killing 185 people. That quake was one of New Zealand’s worst disasters, causing an estimated $25 billion in damage. 2:10 a.m. New Zealand authorities say a powerful earthquake has generated a tsunami, with the first waves hitting the South Island. The department of civil defense warned people all along the country’s east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck just after midnight Sunday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, over 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.20161113175400http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/11/13/magnitude-7-4-earthquake-strikes-near-christchurch-new-zealand-usgs/WELLINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) – A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake and a series of aftershocks shook New Zealand in the early hours of Monday, generating a tsunami and sending thousands of people fleeing for higher ground.

Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region that bore the epicentre of the quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. There were no immediate reports of deaths. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, roads were blocked by landslips and the Civil Defence Ministry warned that waves of up to five metres (yards) remained a risk for several hours. “The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been,” said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. “Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming that may be bigger than what has come before.” The first tremor, just 15 kms deep, struck the island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand’s Geonet measured Monday’s quake at magnitude 7.5. New Zealand lies in the seismically active “Ring of Fire”, a 40,000 kilometre arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur within this region. St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. It is completely cut off and officials said there are reports of a collapsed building. “There are some reports of casualties but the picture will be clearer as day breaks,” Acting Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee said. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city, as residents headed for higher ground. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington international airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurh, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centres were accepting residents. Police have set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centred inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.20161113183600http://www.eastoregonian.com/ap-top-news-at-306-am-est-eo-ap-webfeeds-news-nation-world1ab77bc3ac7760aa618888b1008d66c5Powerful earthquake strikes New Zealand, killing 2 people Nowhere to mooove: 3 cows stranded by New Zealand earthquake Supermoon to light up sky beginning Monday morning Prisons fight opioids with $1,000 injection: Does it work?

The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.4 quake hit 59 miles (95km) from Christchurch, which is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed many buildings. The tsunami arrived in the north-eastern coast about two hours later. Officials said the first waves may not be the largest, with tsunami activity possible for several hours. The New Zealand Civil Defence advised residents on the South Island's east coast to seek higher ground over fears that the earthquake could cause a tsunami. Civil defence issued a tsunami warning for the entire east coast and said it was “assessing [the] situation with assistance of scientific advisers and civil defence groups”. The quake struck at about midnight local time (12:00 CET) with the scale of damage and extent of injuries still being unclear. A gauge at Kaikoura, 181 km (112 miles) north of Christchurch, measured a wave of two metres (6ft 5ins). According to the New Zealand Herald, said the tremor was felt all the way to Wellington, where sirens sounded and people fled buildings into the streets, some of them crying. Early reports suggested some houses in Cheviot town, near the epicentre, have been damaged. But Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents and found "everyone seems okay". He told RadioNZ: “There's a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn't look like anything too bad has happened.” New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim. Christchurch is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre.20161113150200http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/5/268221New Zealand owned travel companies House of Travel and Orbit World Travel are fielding domestic travel cancellations and disrupts following this morning’s earthquake, with a number of Kiwis in affected areas now unable to travel.

House of Travel Commercial Director Brent Thomas says Orbit World Travel’s team of Kiwis in London has been on hand to take the pressure off areas affected by the earthquake. "While we are New Zealand owned and operated businesses, we also have a call centre in London operated by Kiwis who can support us at times such as this, when the business is under pressure. This morning alone, while most of us were asleep, the London team managed enquiries for over 100 disrupted passengers," he says. "While airports are operating as usual, the roads in a number of areas are preventing customers from making it to the airport. Aside from logistical issues, we also have customers who will have had a bit of a shock and want to remain close to home. "Some of our stores have had to close today, so Orbit’s business travellers have been supported by the team in London, while House of Travel stores in unaffected areas can step in to help customers where their local store is closed today." Thomas says all customers who have travel plans that may be disrupted due to the earthquake should contact their travel agent as soon as possible. "Even if your local store is closed, you will be diverted to another travel agent who can help you and manage travel insurance enquiries on your behalf.

The US Geological Survey placed the epicenter in the South Island's North Canterbury region, saying it occurred at a depth of 23 kilometers (14.3 miles). In the hours after seismic event, a 6.3 magnitude aftershock caused severe shaking in Christchurch, where a similar sized in 2011. earthquake killed 185 people Sunday's quake killed at least two. Authorities said infrastructure and property have been significantly damaged in some areas. "I think had there been serious injury or suspected further loss of life then we would have heard about it by now," said Civil Defense Minister Gerry Brownlee. "It looks as though it's the infrastructure that's the biggest problem, although I don't want to take away from the suffering … and terrible fright so many people have had," he told Radio New Zealand. Prime Minister Key and Brown flew over affected areas in a military helicopter to assess the damage. Outside of Kaikoura, a popular tourist destination in the worst-hit region, aerial footage showed train tracks ripped up and tossed some 10 meters (32.8) away. Key said it may take days to assemble a full picture of the damage. "As we have daylight we can use the military assets that we have to make sure we get a stock-take of the overall damage, but I suspect that will take quite some time to fully understand," the premier said. The government is expected to appoint a senior official to oversee reconstruction in the aftermath of the quake.20161114100300http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-zealand-quake-1.3848896?cmp=rssA 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand's South Island just after 6 a.m. ET on Sunday.

The powerful quake hit just after midnight (local time), with strong jolts causing some damage to buildings more than 200 kilometres away in the capital, Wellington. New Zealand's Civil Defence issued a tsunami warning, advising residents on the South Island's east coast to seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had been recorded in the North Canterbury region of the South Island. "That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no immediate danger of a broader tsunami from the quake. In Wellington, 214 kilometres north of the quake's epicentre, power was knocked out in some places, with windows smashed and chimneys damaged. There were no immediate reports of any major damage or injuries in Christchurch, the biggest city on the South Island. But Civil Defence said it was too early to assess for damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as magnitude-6.1. Earthquake 'scarier than normal' Australian journalist Gemma Snowdon, who is living just north of Christchurch, told the ABC the tremor, which was measured by New Zealand's Geonet at magnitude 6.6, woke her from her sleep. "The extent of this quake was so much that it woke me up out of my sleep and I thought someone in my house was moving furniture around or something," she said. "I ran outside with my housemates and we quickly realised what was going on and the ground just shook and shook and shook and it seemed never-ending. Snowdon said the situation was "scarier than normal". "I have been hearing sirens and alarms going off throughout the city," she said. "I think everyone is a bit shaken up by this," she added. "[Earthquakes] are a common occurrence but this one was particularly long and protracted." The quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they are shallow. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire", an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common.20161113140900http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11747415&ref=rss.

The February 2011 tremor was just a few miles outside of New Zealand's third biggest town and caused widespread damage and left 185 people dead. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no risk of a tsunami from the first quake which struck just after midnight on Monday, local time. But NZ civil defence later revised the warning, saying anyone near the east coast of the South Island should move to higher ground. There are reports that waves of up to two metres may have hit the Kaikoura area. New Zealand's Geonet, which describes itself as the official source of geological hazard information for the country, listed dozens of quakes between 6.6 and 3.8 after 12.02am local time.

The New Zealand government's GeoNet website reported it as severe and it was felt throughout the country. There were no immediate reports of damages from the latest quake. A Christchurch Police spokeswoman said the only call they had initially regarding the earthquake was a hole in the road in Hundalee, North Canterbury. She said there hadn't yet been any calls about damage in Christchurch. "Just be careful on the roads in case there's damage," she said. St John Ambulance said they had no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre (EOC)", they said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready." A resident in the seaside Nelson suburb of Tahunanui said the power had been cut after the quake. The tremor was felt across a large area, including Christchurch, reports say. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island.

Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region at the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. Prime Minister John Key told a dawn news conference in the capital of Wellington, where the quake was also felt strongly, that two people had been killed. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. "It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington," Key told reporters, although he stopped short of calling a national emergency. "There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure." Emergency officials were meeting later on Monday morning, added Key. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslips. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island's largest city. The first tremor, just 23 km (14 miles) deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's quake at magnitude 7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region. RESCUE PERSONNEL St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to Kaikoura, where at least one of the casualties was located. The South Island town, a popular destination for whale watching, was completely cut off and officials said there were reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, where frequent aftershocks continued to be felt hours after the first quake, residents heading for higher ground caused gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington International airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurch, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centers were accepting residents. Police set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centered inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.

Monday's quake, initially put at 7.4 but later upgraded, struck at 12:02am (1102 GMT Sunday). It was only 10 kilometres deep and felt throughout most of the country. The main tremor was followed by a series of strong aftershocks and there were reports of damaged buildings in the small rural township of Cheviot near the epicentre. "It was massive and really long," Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, told AFP, describing the powerful quake as the biggest since the deadly 2011 tremor. "We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up." In a brief message the Prime Minister John Key tweeted: "I hope everyone is safe after the earthquake tonight." The ambulance service said it did not receive any reports of quake-related injuries. However, the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand's emergency management said a tsunami was possible. "The first wave activity may not be the most significant," it said in a bulletin, adding tsunami activity would continue for several hours. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist with the GNS Science, said the government's earthquake monitoring service, the quakes were close to the coast. "They've been quite large. We've also seen a signal on the tide gauge at Kaikoura which is up to one metre (three feet) so it's reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously." However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that based on available data "a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected." In September, a strong 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand, generating a small tsunami, but no significant damage or injuries were reported. New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.20161113142000http://www.smh.com.au/world/strong-magnitude-78-earthquake-strikes-near-christchurch-new-zealand-20161113-gsofib.html"That's reasonably significant so people should take this seriously," she told Radio New Zealand.

It warned people to expect aftershocks and many had been felt with the largest a magnitude 5.6 tremor soon after the initial quake. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Sydney Morning Herald journalist Saimi Jeong was in a hotel in Christchurch when the tremors began. "I was in bed about to sleep when I heard the door start rattling. I thought someone was at the door trying to get in," she said. "Then I felt the tremor - the bed was shaking, the floor was shaking. That's when it struck me that it was an earthquake. "I could see the lamp and curtains shaking. It just kept going, and I wondered when it would finally stop." Stuff.co.nz said residents in Christchurch's coastal suburbs were evacuating and moving to higher ground. Hotels and occupied buildings in the CBD had been evacuated. Many people were standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they were okay. In Wellington, hundreds of people were on the streets as building alarms sounded and fire trucks and police cars headed to the CBD. Near Civic Square, hotel guests huddled together in bathrobes while they waited for their buildings to be cleared. Windows in some high-rise office buildings had smashed, while plaster and masonry appeared to have fallen down from some buildings, Stuff.co.nz said. St John Ambulance said it had no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre", it said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready." Fairfax New Zealand journalist Kirsty Lawrence was asleep in Palmerston North, on the North Island, when the earthquake struck. "I waited in bed for a moment but then it got louder and started growing in intensity," Ms Lawrence said. "I was straight up and under a doorway. All our cupboards starting banging in the kitchen and stuff was falling all over on my dresser and car alarms were going off. And I'm up in Palmerston North so reasonably far from it and it was still huge. It went for so long." A resident in the seaside Nelson suburb of Tahunanui said the power had been cut after the quake. The tremor was felt across a large area, including Christchurch, reports say. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island.

Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town, while another died in Mount Lyford, a nearby ski resort. The Civil Defence Ministry had described the tsunami as "an event of life-threatening or national significance". It tweeted: "A tsunami has been generated, the first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island." "If you are in a low lying area on the East Coast of the North, South or Chatham Islands move immediately to higher ground." The country's PM, John Key, later said the tsunami warnings had been downgraded to coastal warnings. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters to the epicentre of the quake - 57 miles (91km) north of the South Island city of Christchurch. Mr Key also told reporters that a military helicopter was heading to Kaikoura. The quake hit just after midnight local time. The initial tremor was followed by aftershocks, including several above magnitude 6. Sirens sounded in Christchurch - badly damaged by in a deadly 6.3-magnitude quake in 2011 - and police have set up road blocks to stop people returning to lower-lying areas. Strong jolts were also felt in Wellington, some 120 miles (200km) north and there was gridlock on roads leading to Mount Victoria - a hill overlooking the capital. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," said Wellington resident Howard Warner Officials said there was structural damage to some buildings in Wellington and people were being warned to say away from the central business district. The train network was closed for checks but the airport was still operating normally. New Zealand's Geonet, which describes itself as the official source of geological hazard information, listed dozens of quakes between 3.8 and 6.6. Hugh Sintes, from Christchurch, told Sky News: "My wife had gone off to the bathroom, I had just lay down on my bed and all of all of a sudden the bed started wobbling and it got more and more intense. "And I thought 'okay this is getting a bit serious'. It continued on and on - it got quite concerning." The relatively shallow first quake occurred at a depth of nine miles (15km). Shallow tremors are felt more strongly on the surface. Rick Kiesseg said on Twitter: "Primary New Zealand #earthquake lasted about a minute. Long, long, long shake and roll. About 17 aftershocks so far, biggest mag 6.1" The February 2011 earthquake hit just a few miles outside Christchurch, New Zealand's third biggest city, causing widespread damage and leaving 185 people dead. New Zealand lies on the boundary of two tectonic plates and is on the so-called 'Ring of Fire' - an area prone to earthquakes. The country experience as many as 15,000 tremors a year.

Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region at the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. Prime Minister John Key told a dawn news conference in the capital of Wellington, where the quake was also felt strongly, that two people had been killed. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. "It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington," Key told reporters, although he stopped short of calling a national emergency. "There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure." Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslips. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island's largest city. The first tremor, just 23 km (14 miles) deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's quake at magnitude 7.5, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region. RESCUE PERSONNEL St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to Kaikoura, where at least one of the casualties was located. The South Island town, a popular destination for whale watching, was completely cut off and officials said there were reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, where frequent aftershocks continued to be felt hours after the first quake, residents heading for higher ground caused gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington International airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurch, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centres were accepting residents. Police set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centred inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.20161114033200http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/two-killed-as-powerful-earthquake-hits-new-zealand/3285420.htmlWELLINGTON: A powerful earthquake and series of aftershocks shook New Zealand early on Monday, killing at least two people and prompting a tsunami warning that sent thousands fleeing to higher ground.

Nearly seven hours after the first quake struck, the prime minister confirmed two fatalities, saying "we cannot rule out" that number will rise.

The quake, northeast of the country's largest city Christchurch, hit just after midnight local time on Sunday, according to the US Geological Survey. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, roads were blocked by landslips. A tsunami was generated with people on the South Island's east coast warned to seek higher ground. New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim. One woman, whose house is on the South Island, said: "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out". Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand. English backpackers Phil and Jane Coles were sleeping in a hostel when the earthquake hit: "We're on the second floor and just felt the movement. My husband didn't actually wake up to start with. I think I said: 'Quake, wake up'. "The quake was quite slow to start off with, then built up to quite a high one It was hard to walk across the room." New Zealand's Civil Defence announced that a tsunami had been generated by the quake and said that waves could be up to five metres and continue for "several hours". It urged an immediate evacuation of the area and issued safety advice to all those affected. "The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been," said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. "Our concern is what is coming.

A tsunami has hit New Zealand after a powerful earthquake struck the country's South Island, with the country's prime minister confirming two deaths. Thousands of people on the country's east coast fled after a warning to move to higher ground. The quake, which measured 7.5 in magnitude, led to waves up to two metres high, including in the Kaikoura area. The Civil Defence Ministry described the tsunami as "an event of life-threatening or national significance". It tweeted: "A tsunami has been generated, the first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island." "If you are in a low lying area on the East Coast of the North, South or Chatham Islands move immediately to higher ground." The country's PM, John Key, later said the tsunami warnings had been downgraded to coastal warnings. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. St John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters to the epicentre of the quake - 57 miles (91km) north of the South Island city of Christchurch. Mr Key also told reporters that a military helicopter was heading to Kaikoura. The quake hit just after midnight local time. The initial tremor was followed by aftershocks, including several above magnitude 6. Sirens sounded in Christchurch - badly damaged by in a deadly 6.3-magnitude quake in 2011 - and police have set up road blocks to stop people returning to lower-lying areas. Strong jolts were also felt in Wellington, some 120 miles (200km) north and there was gridlock on roads leading to Mount Victoria - a hill overlooking the capital. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," said Wellington resident Howard Warner Officials said there was structural damage to some buildings in Wellington and people were being warned to say away from the central business district. The train network was closed for checks but the airport was still operating normally. New Zealand's Geonet, which describes itself as the official source of geological hazard information, listed dozens of quakes between 3.8 and 6.6. Hugh Sintes, from Christchurch, told Sky News: "My wife had gone off to the bathroom, I had just lay down on my bed and all of all of a sudden the bed started wobbling and it got more and more intense. "And I thought 'okay this is getting a bit serious'. It continued on and on - it got quite concerning." The relatively shallow first quake occurred at a depth of nine miles (15km). Shallow tremors are felt more strongly on the surface. Rick Kiesseg said on Twitter: "Primary New Zealand #earthquake lasted about a minute. Long, long, long shake and roll. About 17 aftershocks so far, biggest mag 6.1" The February 2011 earthquake hit just a few miles outside Christchurch, New Zealand's third biggest city, causing widespread damage and leaving 185 people dead.

Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslips. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island's largest city. The first tremor, just 23 km (14 miles) deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand's Geonet measured Monday's quake at magnitude 7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active "Ring of Fire", a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur within this region. RESCUE PERSONNEL. St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to Kaikoura, where at least one of the casualties was located. The South Island town, a popular destination for whale watching, was completely cut off and officials said there were reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, where frequent aftershocks continued to be felt hours after the first quake, residents heading for higher ground caused gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city. "I'm just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am," Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington International airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurch, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centers were accepting residents. Police set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. "The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out," a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centered inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.

The first Test between New Zealand and Pakistan will go ahead as scheduled at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch, despite a 7.8 magnitude earthquake which hit the city on Sunday. Pakistan squad, who were in Nelson at the time of the earthquake, was also evacuated from their hotel yesterday as a safety measure due to reports of aftershocks. However, both sides arrived in Christchurch on Monday and will have training sessions on Tuesday. “Preparations for the Test are going ahead, but we are continuing to monitor the situation,” said a New Zealand Cricket spokesperson. “It’s just a case of staying in touch with authorities.” Nevertheless, the area is prone to aftershocks, with a 6.3 magnitude earthquake felt around 1.30pm local time on Monday. Pakistan Team Manager Wasim Bari said that the squad members were a bit shaken up after yesterday’s experience. “The earthquake was a pretty strong one,” he said. “We had just finished watching the India-England match and the doors and windows were going from one side to another as if they were made of paper. There was some trauma as well for the boys. Back home, the families had felt disturbed.” Hagley Oval had become a Test venue after the previous Christchurch ground, Lancaster Park, was devastated in a 2011 earthquake.

"Meantime, we enjoin everyone to pray for the safety of those who maybe affected in New Zealand and every Filipino in the area," Andanar said. An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck central New Zealand just after midnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing widespread damage and generating a tsunami. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country's entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two meters (6 feet) could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science, said a tidal signal or surge of up to one meter (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. - with Reuters.20161113190400http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/antrim-womans-new-zealand-quake-terror-we-didnt-know-what-to-do-or-where-to-go-35212687.htmlMs Dougan, who has lived in New Zealand for over four years, felt the tremors more than 600 miles from the epicentre.

The severe quake on the South Island struck just after midnight yesterday and was felt throughout the country, along with several powerful aftershocks. The former Belfast Telegraph news reporter, who works for the New Zealand Herald, said: "It was chaotic - Auckland doesn't get that many earthquakes. "I was in bed when it struck and at first I didn't know what it was. "The wardrobe doors were rattling, I couldn't understand it. "I jumped out of bed and realised it was an earthquake. "We are on the 12th floor of an apartment block and we could feel it shaking. We didn't know what to do. There was nowhere we could go. "After it stopped we went outside and could see a lot of people streaming out to the streets from our building. "We knew from checking online that it was a massive earthquake. "Authorities say there were around 100 aftershocks all over the country. "It's been a long, sleepless night for many of us. "After it happened I sent a message to my sister saying that I was OK. My family were shocked, but they are relieved I'm fine," said Ms Dougan. At least two people died after the powerful earthquake. Authorities said they were not yet declaring a national emergency, saying the regions are coping well. The magnitude 7.8 quake struck just after midnight 132 miles south of Wellington, where it collapsed a ferry loading ramp, broke windows and caused items to fall from shelves. Authorities later downgraded tsunami warnings around the country following the quake. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1.50am and warned residents living in low-lying areas anywhere along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. Prime Minister John Key said at a news conference later that the tsunami warnings were being downgraded to coastal warnings. Speaking about six hours after the quake struck, Mr Key said he was unable to give further information on the fatalities until authorities had confirmed all the details. He said officials had no reason to believe the death toll would rise. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100% sure," he said. Mr Key said that crews would better be able to assess the damage during the day. He said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency, because the nation's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation.

The quake, located 20 kilometres south-east of Hanmer Springs at a depth of 16 kilometres, struck just after midnight on Sunday. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management issued a national advisory saying it was assessing details of the earthquake. It warned people to expect aftershocks and many had been felt with the largest a magnitude 5.6 tremor soon after the initial quake. It said a tsunami was possible. "Anyone near the east coast of the South Island should move to high ground," it said. Stuff.co.nz said hundreds of people were on the streets of Wellington as building alarms sounded and fire trucks and police cars headed to the CBD. Near Civic Square, hotel guests huddled together in bathrobes while they waited for their buildings to be cleared. Windows in some high-rise office buildings had smashed, while plaster and masonry appeared to have fallen down from some buildings. A Christchurch Police spokeswoman said the only call they had initially regarding the earthquake was a hole in the road in Hundalee, North Canterbury. She said there had not yet been any calls about damage in Christchurch. "Just be careful on the roads in case there's damage," she said. St John Ambulance said it had no reports of injuries from the quake. "We are monitoring the situation but at this stage we have not activated our emergency operations centre", it said. "We encourage everyone to check on their neighbours, family and friends, especially those who live alone or are frail." "It is also important to have your emergency kit, torch and other emergency supplies ready." A resident in the seaside Nelson suburb of Tahunanui said the power had been cut after the quake. The tremor was felt across a large area, including Christchurch, reports say. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand's South Island.

The earthquake was centred around the Christchurch area which was previously hit by a quake in 2011 that left many dead and the city badly damaged. It was followed by a series of smaller aftershocks, though, some are still measuring more than magnitude five. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) has warned those on the east coast to move to higher ground. It said the first waves were expected to arrive at the Chatham Islands to the east of the main island, immediately and that there will continue to be tsunami activity for some time. The shocks from the quake were felt in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city on the north island and as far as Auckland further north, and most of both islands to some degree.

Describing it as ‘an event of life-threatening or national significance’ the department of civil defence warned people all along the country’s east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.9 quake struck in the early hours of Monday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of six miles. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist with the GNS Science, said the government’s earthquake monitoring service, the quakes were close to the coast. ‘They’ve been quite large. We’ve also seen a signal on the tide gauge at Kaikoura which is up to one metre (three feet) so it’s reasonably significant, so people should take this seriously.’ A tsunami has been generated. Waves are expected to arrive at the Chatham islands immediately – anyone in the Chathams should move to high ground urgently. The first wave has arrived in the North Eastern Coast of the South Island and it may arrive in Eastern Coast of the North and South Islands of New Zealand shorly (including Wellington, Christchurch and the Chatham Islands. The first wave may not be the largest. Waves may continue for several hours. Move inland or to higher ground immediately. People in coastal areas should: Stay out of the water (sea, rivers and estuaries, including boating activities) Stay off beaches and shore areas; Do not go sightseeing; Share this information with family, neighbours and friends; Listen to the radio and/or TV for updates; Follow instructions of local civil defence authorities. The ministry had earlier sent out a message on Twitter saying there was no tsunami threat to the country. It then sent out another message – ‘situation has changed – tsunami is possible’ – before reporting that a tsunami had, in fact, hit. Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, more than 120 miles away. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch.

"It was just completely insane. It was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced," Proctor said over the phone from Hokitika, where he happens to be on a cycling tour with a friend. The small seaside town is on the other side of the country's South Island from Christchurch, or about 300 kilometres from the epicentre of the "It was just swaying everything back and forth," he said, describing coffee pots falling to the ground and doors slamming. "Everybody on the entire South Island could feel it." After about two minutes of heavy shaking, Proctor says everyone ran out into the parking lot — at which point his main concern became the threat of a tsunami. He says although he had felt the quake, he didn't know exactly where it had hit and how it might impact the coast. "Is some giant wave going to be coming to carry me away?" he wondered. Aftershocks all night. Proctor says he was relieved when the tsunami warning system didn't go off where he was. It did, however, do so on the east coast of the island, where two metre waves hit the shore. When he want back to bed, Proctor and those around him felt aftershocks all night long. They could still go on for weeks or even months. "It's kind of unsettling because you just think, well what do I do? It's normal, but the earth is moving constantly," he said. "But at the same time, there's no damage here. People are kind of moving on with their lives." Railway lines on the South Island have been shut down, as well as ferries on the North Island. He says all day, the earthquake is the only thing people have been talking about. Emergency services issued a tsunami warning, urging people along the east coast to move to higher ground to avoid tsunami waves. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported that a tsunami wave struck at about 1:50 a.m. local time. (Ross Setford/SNPA via Associated Press) Memories of Christchurch. "Obviously, it brings back everything about Christchurch for everybody," he said, referring to The previous morning, Proctor and his friend had been in Christchurch, from where they caught a train across the island to Greymouth and then biked down to Hokitika. He said he was struck by how much damage there still is in Christchurch — whole blocks cordoned off, with crumbling buildings. "The entire city looks like it has been the subject of an air raid or a bomb," he said. Fissures run along a road in Wellington after a major earthquake struck New Zealand's South Island. The quake struck in a mostly rural area close to the city of Christchurch, but appeared to be more strongly felt in the capital. (Ross Setford/SNPA via Associated Press) For Proctor, it's an unsettling reminder of what could happen on Canada's West Coast.

"I've lived in Vancouver for decades, obviously always with the fear of an earthquake. But it's like OK, that's what it would feel like. It's pretty scary."

The department of civil defence warned people all along the country's east coast to move to higher ground. The magnitude-7.8 quake struck in the early hours of Monday near the city of Christchurch. It was at a relatively shallow depth of six miles. Some minor damage was reported in the capital, Wellington, more than 120 miles away. The streets of inner city Wellington are thronged as thousands of citizens evacuate. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries in Christchurch. Original report: A powerful earthquake has struck New Zealand near the city of Christchurch, with strong jolts felt more than 120 miles away in the capital Wellington. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries and there was no immediate danger of a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre. The 7.4-magnitude quake struck just after midnight on Sunday and was centred 57 miles north-east of Christchurch, according to the US Geological Survey. It was at a relatively shallow depth of six miles. Earthquakes tend to be more strongly felt on the surface when they are shallow. New Zealand sits on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes are common. An earthquake in 2011 in Christchurch killed 185 people.

The earthquake was centred around the Christchurch area which was previously hit by a quake in 2011 that left many dead and the city badly damaged. It was followed by a series of smaller aftershocks though, some are still measuring more than magnitude five and a tsunami. New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) has warned those on the east coast to move to higher ground. It said the first waves were expected to arrive at the Chatham Islands to the east of the main island, immediately and that there will continue to be tsunami activity for some time. The shocks from the quake were felt in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city on the north island and as far as Auckland further north, and most of both islands to some degree. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre noted the power of the earthquake could be as much as magnitude 7.9.20161113200600http://www.khaleejtimes.com/international/where-to-mooove-cows-face-problems-after-new-zealand-quakeFiled on November 14, 2016 | Last updated on November 14, 2016 at 11.20 am In this image made from video, three cows are stranded on an island of grass in a paddock that had been ripped apart following an earthquake near Kaikoura, New Zealand (AP) It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them.text/html2016-11-14T08:51+0100khaleejtimesenkhaleejtimes-8fe2f5d884bdd03adac377320f32175dRegulationNaturalDisastersCPSI-PropertyCrimeCPSI-NaturalDisastersEarthquakesCPSI-Violence_vandalismNewZealandhttp://www.khaleejtimes.com/favicon.icoGuinness World RecordChristchurchKaikouraNew ZealandCanVideo-8Filed on November 14, 2016 | Last updated on November 14, 2016 at 11.20 am In this image made from video, three cows are stranded on an island of grass in a paddock that had been ripped apart following an earthquake near Kaikoura, New Zealand (AP) It was not immediately clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to help them.

She live-tweeted the experience: Tsunami expected to hit New Zealand's east coast shortly. New Zealand’s emergency management agency says a tsunami is expected to hit the country’s east coast shortly. It warned: “The tsunami may arrive in the Eastern Coast of the North Island shortly. Move inland or to higher ground immediately. “The first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami activity will continue for several hours.” 'It felt like swaying and a wave' British chef Tim Owen, 29, was at home in Halswell, a satellite town of Christchurch, when the earthquake hit. He told Mirror Online: “It went on for like a minute or so, which is quite long. It felt like swaying and like a wave. “We just got up from the couch and stood in the doorway.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to 1m had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. “A tsunami is possible,” the national civil defence organisation, which is in charge of New Zealand’s emergency management, said in a bulletin. “The first wave activity may not be the most significant,” it said, adding tsunami activity would continue for several hours. It said on its website that t he National Crisis Management Centre is being activated. Tamsin Edensor, a mother of two in Christchurch, said the shaking lasted a “long” time. “We were asleep and woken to the house shaking, it kept going and going and felt like it was going to build up,” she told AFP. She said there was no sign of damage on her street and the power was still on, adding that she was worried about towns and villages closer to the epicentre. “We’re getting aftershocks at the moment. We’re going to stock up on water supplies just in case.” Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door to door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. RNZ said the Wellington City Council had received multiple reports of significant damage. Christchurch is the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management warned of the risk of destructive waves along the country’s entire east coast and urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate and seek higher ground. Waves of up to two metres could be possible for up to two hours, it said. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. New Zealand’s Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier. USGS said the quake was centred 91km north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Some injuries had been reported but there no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. Chris Hill, a fire officer in Cheviot, a coastal town near the quake’s epicentre, said officials had gone door-to-door evacuating residents. “Everyone seems OK here,” he told RNZ. “There’s a lot of debris in houses, but at this stage it doesn’t look like anything too bad has happened.” Residents in Wellington said glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said residents had been evacuating the city’s southern coastal suburbs due to the tsunami threat and there had been reports of structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told RNZ. Several roads around the South Island had been closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. A series of aftershocks were recorded around the country, some as strong as 6.1 magnitude.

That's months of work,"-13Strong aftershocks continued to shake the country on Monday, rattling the nerves of exhausted residents, many of whom had spent a sleepless night huddled outside after fleeing to higher ground to avoid the tsunami waves. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the South Island just after midnight on Sunday in a mostly rural area dotted with small towns. Near the epicentre, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and sparked landslides. But New Zealand was largely spared the devastation it saw five years ago when a deadly earthquake struck the same region. Sunday's quake caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north. It was also strongly felt to the south in the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt Lyford, a nearby ski resort. Several other people had reportedly suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Prime Minister John Key flew over the destruction in Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. Cars could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. "It's just utter devastation. ... That's months of work," Mr Key told acting civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He estimated the clean-up would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to Kaikoura on Tuesday. The prime minister said waves of about two metres hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100% sure," he said. Mr Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because New Zealand's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation.20161114060100http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3931666/Magnitude-7-4-earthquake-jolts-New-Zealand-s-South-Island-near-Christchurch.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490A magnitude 7.5 earthquake centred north of Christchurch has jolted New Zealand and triggered a two-metre Tsunami.

Emergency authorities were advising people to stay off the beaches and away from the coast along the length of both islands and were issuing evacuation advisories for residents in Wellington, the capital city. The Chathams are a small group of islands about 400 miles east of Christchurch, the largest city in the south island. Christchurch suffered a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in 2011 that destroyed large parts of the central city and killed 185 people. Monday’s earthquake, which happened just after midnight local time, was centered in Culverden, about 60 miles north of Christchurch, and was 10 miles deep. Local media reported big changes in the water level in Kaikoura, a coastal city north of Christchurch, and at least one building was said to have collapsed. Large aftershocks were continuing.

"From our measurements it seems this one started onshore about 15 kilometres underground and ruptured the crust from west to east in a slightly north-easterly direction." GeoNet released an initial report of expected likely scenarios. Scenario 1 (Very likely): a normal aftershock sequence over the next few months. This means gradually diminishing size and frequency of seismic events. Scenario 2 (Likely): Possible rupture earthquake of magnitude 6 in North Canterbury and/or offshore. Scenario 3 (Unlikely): Another large earthquake above magnitude 7 within a month in the Marlborough and Cook Strait regions. GeoNet measured the quake at a magnitude of 7.5, although the United States Geological Survey said it was of a 7.8 magnitude and Geoscience Australia said the event was of a 7.9 magnitude. "There are a number of ways we can look at an earthquake," Mr Jaksa said. He said GeoNet relied on measuring close readings, which can "saturate" the measurement devices causing what he called "clipping". The first measurements from an earthquake are the "p-waves", which are compression waves travelling through the earth, much like sound waves. Mr Jaksa said these dispersion waves allow detection of a quake's location and an initial estimate of its size. Following the "p-waves" seismologists measure "s-waves", which are slower moving shear waves travelling perpendicular to the direction of the p-waves. Seismologists then measure even slower surface waves that shake the crust in rolling waves allowing a better understanding of the event. Mr Jaksa said GeoNet relied on more localised measurements, whereas Geoscience Australia incorporated more longer-period waves. USGS uses a similar method, explaining why the US and Australian agencies have issued similar magnitudes for the event. He said the NZ measurement was more like the older Richter scale, which measured amplitudes of seismic waves. The current scales incorporate measurements of earth movement. Ms Little said that GeoNet's use of local stations gave it a better ability to locate the epicentre and determine whether it was one or two seismic events.

That's months of work,"-13Strong aftershocks continued to shake the country on Monday, rattling the nerves of exhausted residents, many of whom had spent a sleepless night huddled outside after fleeing to higher ground to avoid the tsunami waves. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the South Island just after midnight on Sunday in a mostly rural area dotted with small towns. Near the epicentre, it opened up snaking fissures in roads and sparked landslides. But New Zealand was largely spared the devastation it saw five years ago when a deadly earthquake struck the same region. Sunday's quake caused damage in Wellington, the capital, more than 120 miles to the north. It was also strongly felt to the south in the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people. Residents said the shaking went on for about three minutes. Police said one person died in the small coastal town of Kaikoura and another in Mt Lyford, a nearby ski resort. Several other people had reportedly suffered minor injuries in Kaikoura, police spokeswoman Rachel Purdom said. Prime Minister John Key flew over the destruction in Kaikoura by helicopter on Monday afternoon, as aftershocks kicked up dust from the landslides below. Cars could be seen lying on their sides and parts of the road were clearly impassable. "It's just utter devastation. ... That's months of work," Mr Key told acting civil defence minister Gerry Brownlee as they hovered above the damage. He estimated the clean-up would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and clearing the debris and blocked roads could take months. Defence force personnel were planning to take food, water and other supplies to Kaikoura on Tuesday. The prime minister said waves of about two metres hit the coast but the tsunami threat had since been downgraded to coastal warnings. He said authorities had no reason to believe the death toll would rise above the two reported fatalities. "On the very best information we have at the moment, we think it's only likely to be two. But of course there are isolated parts of the country which we don't have perfect eyes on, so we can't be 100% sure," he said. Mr Key said officials had decided not to declare a national emergency because New Zealand's regions were able to adequately cope with the situation.20161114054300http://www.maitlandmercury.com.au/story/4290968/new-zealand-earthquake-hundreds-of-aftershocks-pepper-north-and-south-islands/?cs=12UPDATE: Mag 7.9 South Island of New Zealand. 14 Nov 2016 00:03 (NZDT).

Video taken by Newshub news service from a helicopter near the small town of Kaikoura showed two adult cattle and a calf stranded on a chunk of land that had been ripped apart during the earthquake. The patch of grass where the animals stood was surrounded by deep ravines of collapsed dirt carved out by the earthquake. It was not clear who owned the cattle or what was being done to rescue them, the AP reported. Two deaths have been confirmed one in Kaikoura and one in Mount Lyford. Kaikoura is close to the epicenter of the earthquake. The quake also was strongly felt to the south in Christchurch but was far less damaging than a smaller 2011 earthquake that devastated the city and killed 185 people, the AP reported.

Power lines and phone lines are said to be down, including emergency lines to police, fire and ambulance services. Others reported that the emergency number 111 was back up and running. Anthropology student Heather McMillan said her home shook “like jelly” when the earthquake struck as she was getting ready for bed, and she feared it was going to collapse. The quake hit 57 miles north east of the city, which is on the east coast of the country's South Island. The 20-year-old told Mirror Online: “When it started it was really big so I thought it was going to be short but it kept going for a good few minutes and felt like the second floor was going to fall down. “Very quickly you realise it's an earthquake because I’ve felt one before. “But this was a different level. I honestly thought it was going to last for 20 minutes or longer. “I live in the second storey of a flat and it was like a rolling feeling from the house. The aftershocks have felt like we're a ship at sea. ”She said the tremor lasted around five minutes but it felt like forever". She added: “I think it's one of those moments when you start thinking whether this is it? Like the big earthquake that's going to put Christchurch back into the place it was five years ago?” Heather said her flat did not suffer any damage, but her parents in Wellington were without power and had some belongings damaged as the earthquake shook their home. Patsy Knight told Mirror Online that aftershocks were still continuing 20 minutes after the quake. She said: "We're in Wellington and absolutely terrifying.

Thousands of people along New Zealand’s east coast fled their homes to head for higher ground as emergency services warned of destructive waves of up to five meters in some areas. “The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been,” said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. “Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming may be bigger than what has come before.” St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicenter of the quake, 91 km north-northeast of Christchurch, where a 6.3 quake in 2011 killed 185 people, on New Zealand’s South Island. “We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura,” Dion Rosario, St John Incident Controller, said in a statement. “However, at this stage we do not have specifics.” Police said they were investigating reports of a collapsed building in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. The first tremor and a series of aftershocks were felt throughout most of New Zealand. There were no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout overlooking the low-lying coastal city. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as Iam,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told Radio New Zealand. Other residents reported glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. A spokeswoman for the city council of Christchurch, where tsunami sirens rent the air, said its “emergency operations center” was active. Several roads around the South Island were closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. New Zealand’s Geonet revised up its estimated magnitude of the quake to 7.5, from 6.6 earlier.

Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island.

New Zealand’s Civil Defence warned residents along the country’s entire east coast to seek higher ground. Anna Kaiser, a seismologist at GNS Science said a tidal signal or surge of up to one metre (3 feet) had been recorded in North Canterbury region of the South Island. “That’s reasonably significant so people should take this seriously,” she told Radio New Zealand. The quake was centered 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on New Zealand’s South Island. A 6.3 quake there in February 2011 killed 185 people and caused widespread damage. The tremor, which was measured by New Zealand’s Geonet at magnitude 6.6, was felt throughout most of New Zealand. Civil Defence said it was too early to assess the damage or whether there had been any injuries or deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman who gave her name as Elizabeth told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island.

Thousands of people along New Zealand’s east coast fled their homes to head for higher ground as emergency services warned of destructive waves of up to five metres (yards) in some areas. “The first waves have arrived but we know that it is too early to say what the impact has been,” said Sarah Stuart-Black, national controller at the Ministry of Civil Defence. “Our concern is what is coming. Future waves are coming may be bigger than what has come before.” St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to near the epicentre of the quake, 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch, where a 6.3 quake in 2011 killed 185 people, on New Zealand’s South Island. “We are starting to get reports of injuries from the earthquake area, including Culverden area and Kaikoura,” Dion Rosario, St John Incident Controller, said in a statement. “However, at this stage we do not have specifics.” Police said they were investigating reports of a collapsed building in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. The first tremor and a series of aftershocks were felt throughout most of New Zealand. There were no immediate reports of deaths. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. In Wellington, there was gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout overlooking the low-lying coastal city. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for the Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. “We’ve got reports of broken water pipes and lots and lots of things off desks and shelves,” he told Radio New Zealand. Other residents reported glass had fallen from buildings into the streets and hotels and apartment buildings had been evacuated. A spokeswoman for the city council of Christchurch, where tsunami sirens rent the air, said its “emergency operations centre” was active. Several roads around the South Island were closed and damage to power and phone networks was reported. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island.

More than 550 properties have been affected, although some areas of New Plymouth, including Westown, had power restored by 3am. Information on the Powerco website said it hoped to restore electricity by about 9.40am. READ MORE: While the earthquake was widely felt by people in the region, there have been no official reports of damage. New Plymouth senior station officer Steve Dombroski said no calls had been lodged around the city and he was not aware of any major damage in other parts of the region. "We've got away pretty lightly," he said. Taranaki Civil Defence senior emergency management officer Shane Briggs said people should expect aftershocks, some of which would be strong, and should ensure items in their homes are safe and secure. He said while he was not aware of any major damage being reported, a few buildings in the district had suffered superficial damage but had been subsequently checked over by engineers. Taranaki residents took to Facebook to share their experiences of the quake overnight. Petreena Taylor described the earthquake as very scary. "Wow that was big for sure felt it up Carrington Rd. Felt like the house was going to fly away," she posted. Codie Roberts shared Taylor's fear. "I hate how big and scary this was. Completely shaken and wide awake now." A tsunami warning for the country was issued in the wake of the quake, but has since been been downgraded. A marine and beach threat is in place for parts of New Zealand, from Napier to the north of Dunedin, Cook Strait coastal areas and the Chatham Islands. Briggs said people should exercise caution around Taranaki's coastline, with unusual tidal activity expected. - Stuff.20161113201800http://www.euronews.com/2016/11/13/the-emergency-number-was-out-of-action-new-zealand-hit-by-major-earth-tremor?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+euronews%2Fen%2Fnews+%28euronews+-+news+-+en%29New Zealand’s South Island has been hit by a powerful tremor.

A slip has closed the main road to Hanmer Springs village, near where the magnitude 7.5 earthquake was centred. The NZ Transport Agency said the slip was blocking both lanes on State Highway 7A, on the eastern side of the Waiau Ferry Bridge. State Highway 7 is closed between Waipara and Springs Junction (the Lewis Pass) due to earthquake damage, NZTA says. Road users are advised to take extra care. Southern fire communications shift manager Tim Reynolds said there were reports of"minor" damage coming from the Cheviot area. "They are just staring to come through now. We are getting multiple reports of damage, but nothing specific as yet," he said. "Mainly things to do with roading and bridges." Hurunui District Councillor for the Cheviot Ward, Vince Daly, did not believe there was serious damage in the area. "It's sort of just little ones [aftershocks] now. "I've heard the fire brigade is driving around, but I'm pretty sure there's no real [damage], it hasn't been too bad," he said. The state highway near Hundalee was damaged, he said. "The State Highway up the Hundalees . . . talking to my cousin, his wife's trapped on the road up there. "There's cracks all through the road on the Hundalees, just up from Goose Bay," he said. Jane Thompson, who lives near Cheviot in North Canterbury, said it was a "long, rolling earthquake". She had spoken to some residents in the Cheviot township and heard reports of minor damage. "We are 8 kilometres from coast so are staying put," she said. WELLINGTON. Residents of Lyall Bay are evacuating after a tsunami warning was issued for all coastal areas of New Zealand. In the CBD, hundreds of people were on the streets as building alarms sound and fire trucks and police cars head around the CBD. Windows in some high-rise office buildings have smashed, while plaster and masonry appears to have fallen down from some buildings. Near Civic Square, hotel guests huddled together in bathrobes while they waited for their buildings to be cleared. However, Courtenay St bar patrons are still drinking pints and smoking as the chaos unfolds. In Wakefield St, directly opposite the Wellington City Council offices, large chunks of masonry have fallen from a building, smashing glass below. Emergency services have shut the street down. Along Willis Street in Wellington's CBD, people are lining the streets and sitting in hotel lobbies. Aftershocks were continuing to be felt in the city. Wellington mayor Justin Lester said there were reports of damage in the central city but it was not yet known how bad it was. "There's no need for any concern at the moment but we're just watching as things progress because it sounds like there's been some buildings damaged in the CBD." Wellington resident Daina Lundberg was in bed in a Featherston St apartment next door to where masonry fell. Her husband ran to get their daughter out of bed. "We could hardly stand up - it was that bad", she said. Conan Hayes, 18, was inside Willis St student accommodation when the first quake struck. Dozens of residents in the multi-storey building were forced to evacuate, many huddling together under duvets in a carpark. "Really we were just all in bed asleep and then we started to hear noises outside, like cracks and stuff, then this huge earthquake happened and it shook and shook and shook," Hayes said. "Books fell off our shelves, food out of the cupboard," he said. "The length of it all was really the most scariest part." His flatmate Jade Bartlett, 19, then rushed into his room and burst into tears. "I was freaking out. I was so scared," Bartlett explained. "A lot of things are cracked, so now the water is dripping down," explained fellow flatmate, 22-year-old Rachelle Gabriels. CHRISTCHURCH. Tsunami sirens started sounding along Christchurch's coastline at 2.14am. The sirens, located from Brooklands to Taylors Mistake, are meant to sound for about 10 minutes to alert residents they could need to evacuate. A significant amount of traffic can be seen heading away from New Brighton and other coastal suburbs towards central Christchurch and the Port Hills. Police are driving around the New Brighton area with flashing lights on. Christchurch Coastal Ward Councillor David East said the council had issued a precautionary message for people to stay away from the beach, but there was "no real threat" of a tsunami. East lives two blocks away from the water at North Beach, and said he would be staying at home. "Stay off the beaches and out of the water," he said. In the CBD, hotels and occupied buildings had been evacuated. Many people are standing around in the middle of the street, away from buildings, calling people to let them know they're fine. Some people are venturing back inside, because nobody seems to be enforcing the evacuations. People around city centre have been let back in to hotels. Couples were seen hugging and calling relatives, grabbing towels for blankets. Part of the Heritage Christchurch building on Worcester St was heard crumbling by a nearby road-worker. WAIKATO. In Hamilton, Wayne Timmo woke to the kitchen blinds banging against the window and said the quake felt like a "long slow, rolling or almost rotating motion". "The water in the neighbour's swimming pool was left sloshing around for about a minute and people woken by the quake came out onto the street to talk about it.20161113144100http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11747728&ref=rssAn Australian family in New Zealand for a holiday are astounded at the "generosity" of Wellingtonians following the earthquake.

Sandra Wardrop and her family from New South Wales were in Wellington celebrating her son William's 12th birthday. The Wardrop family were evacuated from the Park Hotel on The Terrace and were waiting to be able to go back and get their luggage and car before continuing on their trip to Taranaki. They were still in the Beehive foyer at 11.30am, part of the dwindling crowd of displaced people. Sandra said a woman had come to the foyer to offer her house for people to stay in, and they were considering taking her up on the offer. She called the offer "exceptionally generous". The woman and her daughter had been thinking about how frightened they were by the earthquake, then began considering others who were stuck in evacuation centres with nowhere else to go. "That's why they jumped in their car and came down here." It was "an amazing act of kindness and generosity". "It's just extraordinary," Sandra said. The Wardrop family also met Prime Minister John Key when he came in to speak to people in the foyer. "Meeting the prime minister was unexpected, like the earthquake." William Wardrop was a little disappointed the earthquake had gotten in the way of his birthday breakfast at McDonald's , Sandra said. "He's sort of excited that he's got a story to tell about his birthday. It's not every day you get to experience an earthquake."20161114024600https://www.geo.tv/latest/120535-Pakistan-Test-to-go-ahead-as-planned-after-New-Zealand-earthquakeWELLINGTON: The first Test between New Zealand and Pakistan is scheduled to go ahead this week after engineers checked the safety of the Christchurch cricket venue following a massive earthquake that rattled the centre of the country early on Monday.

The powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake pummelled central New Zealands South Island, killing at least two people, damaging roads and buildings and setting off hundreds of strong aftershocks. It was felt strongly in Christchurch, South Islands largest city, which was hit by a 6.3 quake in 2011 that killed 185 people. New Zealand Cricket officials told reporters in Christchurch on Monday the match would go ahead. Both teams arrived in the city on Monday, with the Pakistan side arriving from Nelson, where they felt the tremors. "It was pretty scary, it really was," Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur told TVNZ. "We were on the seventh floor of the hotel and it was pretty scary. “The boys all raced down stairs and most of the guys slept in the team room last night. They were a bit scared to go back up to their rooms.” New Zealand bowler Matt Henry, who lives in Christchurch, added he had been woken by the initial quake, which struck shortly after midnight on Monday. "I was just laying in bed and woke up to quite a long rumble, so a bit scary," Henry told reporters. "They are obviously a bit hard to get used to. You kind of sit there waiting to see if you need to react or if you can sit tight. It was quite a long rumble this one." With parts of north Canterbury and around the tourist town of Kaikoura devastated, Henry said he hoped the test would help bring people together. "I think (cricket) always brings a community together," Henry said. "For a brief moment, you can get back to a bit of normality. Its probably good timing to have the test match this week and it will be a really good occasion.” Henry said his team mates would be conscious of safety concerns at their hotel in Christchurch. "Im sure a lot of them will want to stay on the lower levels," he added.20161114101600http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/new-zealand-earthquake-live-updates-9251551An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Emergency response teams were dispatched by helicopter to the region at the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude quake, some 91 km (57 miles) north-northeast of Christchurch in the South Island, amid reports of injuries and collapsed buildings. Prime Minister John Key told a dawn news conference in the capital of Wellington, where the quake was also felt strongly, that two people had been killed. Police said one of the victims was found in a house in the coastal tourist town of Kaikoura. “It was the most significant shock I can remember in Wellington,” Key told reporters, although he stopped short of calling a national emergency. “There will be quite major costs around roads and infrastructure.” Emergency officials were meeting later on Monday morning, added Key. Power was out and phone lines down in many areas of the country, while roads were blocked by landslips. But a tsunami warning that led to mass evacuations was downgraded after large swells hit Wellington, in the North Island, and Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city. The first tremor, just 23 km (14 miles) deep, struck the Pacific island nation just after midnight, jolting many from their sleep and raising memories of the 6.3 magnitude Christchurch quake in 2011, which killed 185 people. New Zealand’s Geonet measured Monday’s quake at magnitude 7.5, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.8. New Zealand lies in the seismically active “Ring of Fire”, a 40,000 km arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partly encircles the Pacific Ocean. Around 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur within this region. RESCUE PERSONNEL. St. John Ambulance said it was sending helicopters carrying medical and rescue personnel to Kaikoura, where at least one of the casualties was located. The South Island town, a popular destination for whale watching, was completely cut off and officials said there were reports of a collapsed building. In Wellington, where frequent aftershocks continued to be felt hours after the first quake, residents heading for higher ground caused gridlock on the roads to Mount Victoria, a hill with a lookout over the low-lying coastal city. “I’m just sort of parked by the side of the road and I think people are trying to go to sleep the same as I am,” Wellington resident Howard Warner told Reuters after evacuating his seaside house. Richard Maclean, a spokesman for Wellington City Council, said there was structural damage to several buildings. Residents were advised to stay away from the central business district on Monday and the train network was closed for checks. Wellington International airport, however, was expected to open as usual on Monday. In Christchurch, where tsunami sirens continued intermittently, three evacuation centres were accepting residents. Police set up roadblocks to prevent people from returning to lower-lying coastal areas. Pictures shared on social media showed buckled roads, smashed glass and goods toppled from shelves in shops in Wellington and the upper South Island. “The whole house rolled like a serpent and some things smashed, the power went out,” a woman, who gave her name as Elizabeth, told Radio New Zealand from her home in Takaka, near the top of the South Island. There was initial confusion when emergency services first said there was no tsunami threat. Christchurch Civil Defence Controller John Mackie said that while the earthquake was centred inland, the fault line extended offshore for a considerable distance. That meant that seismic activity could cause movement out at sea, leading to a tsunami.20161113213000http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/731808/New-Zealand-earthquake-shake-disaster-video-Christchurch?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-express-world-news+%28Daily+Express+%3A%3A+World+Feed%29| UPDATED: 15:41, Sun, Nov 13, 2016 Oli Smith Haunting footage captured the moment the massive earthquake ripped through a family house in Wellington, New Zealand.
