## Resource

A powerful 6.3 earthquake rattled the South Island near Te Anau, triggering a tsunami warning for the west coast — from Milford Sound to Puysegur Point. Residents were urgently told to flee to higher ground or inland immediately as waves could strike within hours, with the first wave not necessarily the biggest. Over 13,000 people felt the quake, which struck at 9:15 PM at a depth of 53km, shaking Otago, Southland, and Canterbury. Civil Defence issued a mobile alert, advising even those who felt a strong, prolonged quake elsewhere to evacuate coastal zones — beaches, rivers, and estuaries are off-limits until officially cleared. Smaller quakes followed, with many describing intense, rumbling shaking that made houses move — a stark reminder that the danger isn’t over.
