Zemljotres jačine od 7.0 – 7.9 smatra se velikim zemljotresom koji uzrokuje ozbiljnu štetu na velikom području.
Trenutno nema zvaničnih informacija od povrijeđenima i šteti.
Zemljotres je bio dovoljno snažan da je probudio stanovnike Aucklanda, stotinama kilometara daleko od epicentra, napisao je novinar iz Aucklanda Aroha Hathaway, piše CNN.
Ministarstvo Civilne odbrane Novog Zelanda objavilo je upozorenje za potencijalnu opasnost od cunamija.
Zvaničnici su od mještana zatražili da iz predostrožnosti odu u viša područja, jer su mogući visoki talasi nakon potresa.

We have received ZERO reports of damage in the past 80 minutes, which we hope is a positive sign.

Can anyone in #Auckland tell me how badly affected you are by the #earthquake? I have family there and I'm worried.
