A Tsunami warning has been issued for Kermadec Island, Tonga and New Zealand on Wednesday after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook the Kermadec Islands in the South Pacific on Tuesday.

Sources have indicated that another natural disaster was predicted to follow in its footsteps.

The ground-shaking earthquake struck 131 miles of land east of Raoul Island and 571 miles south of Tuku’alofa, Tonga. While New Zealand and surrounding South Pacific areas must rush to make preparations, United States officials are also being mindful of their own borders.

“A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami is not expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast,” said the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in a statement.

“No tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.”
