Tsunami Warning Issued After 8.1 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Near New Zealand A tsunami warning was issued after an 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit near the coast of New Zealand on Thursday. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake hit approximately 500 miles northeast of Auckland, striking in the Pacific Ocean near the Kermadec Islands. It came after a 7.3 magnitude tremor struck near Gisborne. The 8.1 quake prompted New Zealand’s National Emergency Management Agency to once again issue a tsunami advisory. The agency warned on Twitter: “TSUNAMI WARNING issued following Kermadecs earthquake. People near coast from the BAY OF ISLANDS to WHANGAREI, from MATATA to TOLAGA BAY, and GREAT BARRIER ISLAND must MOVE IMMEDIATELY to nearest high ground, out of all tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible.”
