Tsunami Warning Hits New Zealand Coast | Sheffield News

A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island, triggering tsunami warnings and urgent evacuation orders for coastal communities from Milford Sound to Puysegur Point. Authorities warn that even if the quake wasn’t felt strongly, the tsunami threat is real—and immediate action is critical. Residents are urged to flee to higher ground on foot or by bike to avoid traffic, as the first wave may not be the largest and hazardous conditions could last hours. With the epicenter in Fiordland National Park and emergency services still assessing the situation, the message is clear: don’t wait, don’t stay home, and stay informed.
