7.1 Earthquake hits off the east coast of North Island, New Zealand.

The earthquake northeast of Gisborne, New Zealand is the biggest quake to hit the top of North Island in 20 years. No significant damages was reported by this morning, although power was cut to about 1 000 homes in eastern Bay of Plenty. Following the earthquake, a series of small tsunamis measuring less than 30-centimetres were recorded, prompting a tsunami warning. People in and around the town of Gisborne, the largest populated area nearest the epicentre, were told to get to higher ground or go as far inland as they could.  The evacuation order and tsunami warning were lifted a few hours later..
