Big quake there. Could start a massive tsunami wave.

[DannyTN]

Hate when massive earthquakes hit urgently.

[Osage Orange]

West Coast of the North Island...might be in for some high waves...

[SubMareener]

A whole lot of the evil NWO crowd have been moving to New Zealand because it is “safe” and anti-Nuclear power! Good luck folks!

[Ditter]

I have cousins in Auckland. Which way would a tsunami travel from that point?

NZ is very prone to quakes. 7 is not that unusual.

[BenLurkin]

Big, and fairly shallow. Dangerous quake.

USGS says 19 kilometers (about 12 miles)

[Izzy Dunne]

So, it’s either a7.1 or 7.2, off the east or west coast, at a depth of 19.1 miles or 19.1 km, which is either shallow or deep, and provides a small/large chance of tsunami.

I still remember what happened to Christchurch in New Zealand in 2011 when a series of large earthquakes pretty much destroyed all of that city’s downtown and forced the 2011 Rugby World Cup to abandon several games that was supposed to be played in that city—the economic damage was gigantic. It may be 2025 before that city full recovers.

I suggest that if you can, go to YouTube ‘dutchsinse’, to avail oneself of a daily earthquake update, and areas to be watchful for future seismic events.
