(Videos) Moment Severe Earthquake Hits NZ Captured On Video

New Zealand issued a warning banning its residents from approaching coastal areas following an ongoing threat in some provinces, following an earthquake of up to 8.1 on the Richter scale, early this morning.

However, at 1.30 pm New Zealand time, the displaced residents were already allowed to return to their respective settlements after the end of the big wave.

It was reported that the incident was very unusual for residents with many waking up as early as 2.30 am New Zealand time and worried about their homes and families.

It follows three major earthquakes in the Pacific region – one on the east coast of New Zealand and two near Kermadec, all up to 8.1 on the Richter scale leading to tsunami warnings, particularly in the Northland, Bay of Plenty, and East Coast areas.

There has been no notification for Auckland residents near the coast to evacuate, however under the threat of waters and beaches, they are barred from approaching the area.

Due to the incident, there were some viral videos on social media, believed to have been recorded by the public who were at the scene.

Not only that, but the tsunami warning sounded through sirens also echoed around the coast and parts of New Zealand after the earthquake.
