Following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake, equal in power to the one that destroyed Napier in 1931, Civil Defence initially issude no Tsunami warning but 55 minutes afterwards did so, claiming a tsunami was possible. A 2m high tsunami had already hit the Kaikoura coast by then. Some people in Kaikoura and Wellington had already left for higher ground, but others haven't.
