Did you feel the quake this morning?
If so, what was it like?
What was your reaction?
A magniture 8.1 earthquake off the coast of New Zealand triggered a tsunami warning for Northland.
The earthquake struck near the Kermadec Islands at 8.28am, with people in certain eastern areas of the North Island told to go immediately to high ground.
A 7.4 magnitude quake also hit near the Kermadec Islands struck about 6.40am, at a depth of about 56km.
I've just cut down some yukka and these are currently sitting on my berm. Free for collection. They can be planted without roots and will regrow (even the stumps without any leaves will regrow). 1/81 Dryden St, Grey Lynn.

Auckland moved back into a week-long level 3 lockdown on Sunday after two fresh community cases of Covid-19 were discovered.
But University of Auckland associate professor Susanna Trnka says if people no longer feel a sense of urgency they will be less compelled to follow the rules.
"During the first lockdown it was understood that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,” the social anthropologist said.
"But as it becomes lockdown two, three and four, the sense of the urgency has shifted and isn't so palpable."
Senior lecturer Sarah Cowie, who is an expert on psychology and behaviour, said it was "certainly a possibility" that people could become more complacent during recurring lockdowns.
“There's evidence from places overseas that have been flung in and out of lockdown that people do become a little bit more complacent the more you have,” she said.
“If we are doing things in line with level 3 and not seeing the benefits of that, it might feel discouraging."
