Tsunami warning sirens have sounded and thousands of New Zealanders on the North Island’s east coast have evacuated to higher ground after a third earthquake within hours on Friday.
There was gridlock in some cities and towns across Northland and the Bay of Plenty as workers, students and residents fled.
Civil defence officials were on the ground to help people evacuate as authorities said tsunami waves could reach three metres above tide levels.
