A tsunami warning for New Zealand was cancelled after a magnitude-5.9 earthquake struck near Te Anau in the South Island on Thursday night. The earthquake, which had an initial assessment of 6.3, occurred approximately 40 km north of Te Anau, a gateway to the tourist area of Fiordland. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) lifted the warning after no tsunami signals were detected for two hours, though they warned of strong and unusual coastal currents. Local residents reported feeling the shaking for up to a minute, describing it as 'long and loud' and likening it to a train. Over 18,000 people reported feeling the earthquake through the GeoNet hazard monitoring system.
