A 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Canterbury has rocked a number of regions overnight, with tsunami waves reaching New Zealand's east coast and aftershocks causing havoc nationwide. Two people are dead, and quakes have been recorded as far as north as Pukekohe, just south of Auckland, meaning a large part of the country has been affected by tremors. 

A tsunami warning was in place for much of the country over night but was downgraded to a marine and beach threat shortly after 8am. The threat is in place from Napier and Hastings to the Waitaki Coast.
