HUGE 7.8/6.3/5.8 Quakes & Tsunami Hit New Zealand
 
Jacinda Ardern Keeps Her Cool as 5.8 Mag Earthquake Hits New Zealand During Live Interview

The 5.8 Magnitude quake hit Wellington as New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was in the middle of a live broadcast. She calmly continued with the interview as the camera and other things shook around her.

Daily Mirror UK, 25 MAY 2020 Wellington and nearby areas were shaken by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake with the epicentre 30 km (20 miles) northwest of Levin, a town close to the capital, and at a depth of 37 km, according to Geonet.

Her calm approach to the incident has only heightened her popularity as her approval rating soars following her handling of several crises - a mass shooting in Christchurch last year, a volcanic eruption in December and the recent coronavirus pandemic.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern kept her cool as an earthquake struck during a live interview


Ardern, who became PM in 2017, was speaking on a live TV interview at the time from the parliament building, called the Beehive.

"We're just having a bit of an earthquake here, Ryan...," she told the host of the show Ryan Bridge, as she, the camera and other things around her shook.

"Quite a decent shake here...if you see things moving behind me. The Beehive moves a little more than most," she said.

Ardern assured the host that she was safe and the interview resumed.

"We are fine, I'm not under any hanging lights and I look like I am in a structurally strong place," she added.

Residents Forced to Flee Huge 'Wall of Water' After
7.8 Earthquake Causes Major New Zealand River to Break its Banks - as ANOTHER Huge Tremor Strikes
  • A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Christchurch in New Zealand around midnight on Sunday
  • That was followed by a 6.3 magnitude aftershock which hit north of Christchurch at around 1.30pm
  • A third strong aftershock measuring 5.8 hit the Kaikoura region at about 7.45 local time on Monday
  • The NZ Government said the earthquake was felt throughout the country and aftershocks followed
  • A two-metre high tsunami hit the east coast of South Island, people told to head for higher ground
  • The touring Pakistan cricket team were in the middle of prayers and forced to evacuate their hotel in Nelson
  • Prime Minister John Key confirmed at least two people have died in the massive earth quake

A major 5.8 magnitude aftershock has rocked New Zealand's South Island, north of where two massive earthquakes measuring 6.3 and 7.8 struck less than 24 hours before.The recent 'strong' quake, which was 35km deep, hit the Kaikoura region at about 7.45 local time on Monday.

An intense 6.3 magnitude aftershock centred in Cheviot, located between Christchurch and Kaikoura, also hit around 1.30pm local time on Monday.

They are included in more than 700 aftershocks in New Zealand since 12am on Sunday when an initial 7.8 earthquake centred north of Christchurch struck, causing extensive destruction, killed two people and triggered a tsunami up to five metres high.

The initial tremor created fractures in major roadways, brought buildings to the ground and forced frightened kiwis to flock to their local supermarkets to stock up on food, drinks and essential supplies.
It comes as authorities warn the worst of the major tremors may not yet be over.
New Zealand earthquake monitoring group GeoNet says there's a 12 per cent chance the country will be shaken by another quake of a 7.0 magnitude or higher before midnight on Monday.

Also worrying for residents is the fact that the Clarence River, one of the largest in the country, has burst its banks causing a huge 'wall of water' to rush towards homes.

New Zealand has been rocked by two major earthquakes. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake ripped up State Highway 1 (pictured) on the east coast in the early hours of Monday morning, before a 6.3 aftershock struck some 14 hours later at around 1.30pm

The 6.3 magnitude aftershock struck just north of where a massive 7.8 earthquake struck hours earlier. Authorities are now warning that there is a 12 per cent chance another major quake of a magnitude greater than 7.0 may strike New Zealand today
