(Worthy News) – Officials in New Zealand on Friday downgraded a tsunami warning after multiple powerful earthquakes struck off the coast earlier in the day.

The largest, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake, was recorded around 8:30 a.m. near the Kermadec Islands Region, prompting a land and marine tsunami threat, the New Zealand National Emergency Management Agency said.

The Kermadec Islands are located 500 miles to 620 miles northeast of New Zealand’s North Island. Tsunami warnings were issued on the island’s western coast from Cape Reinga to Ahipara and on the eastern coast from Cape Reinga to Whangarei, from Matata to Tolga Bay — including Whakatane and Opotiki — and Great Barrier Island.
