  • New Zealand ordered coastal communities across swathes of the North Island to evacuate Friday after three powerful offshore earthquakes sparked tsunami fears in the Pacific nation. A 7.8-magnitude quake, which followed earlier tremors of 7.4 and 6.9 in the same region, struck at 8:28 am (1928 Thursday GMT) around 1,033 kilometres (640 miles) off the New Zealand coast, the US Geological Survey said. "People near the coast... must move immediately to the nearest high ground, out of all tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible," New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said hazardous waves were possible in New Zealand, Tonga, Niue, American Samoa, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tokelau, and Wallis and Fortuna. NEMA warned residents: "Do not stay at home." "The earthquake may not have been felt in some of these areas, but evacuation should be immediate as a damaging tsunami is possible," it said. No damage or injuries were reported from the earlier quakes, which both generated tsunami warnings that were later lifted. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was among those given an early morning wake-up. "Hope everyone is ok out there -- especially on the East Coast who would have felt the full force of that earthquake," she posted on Instagram after the inital shake at 2:27 am. New Zealand sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where tectonic plates collide and experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity. The South Pacific nation recently marked the 10th anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake, when a 6.3 tremor resulted in 185 deaths in the South Island city. ns/bgs
