A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck in the south island of New Zealand early Monday morning, triggering a tsunami alert for the entire east coast of the country as six-foot-high waves began to come in.

Emergency authorities were advising people to stay off the beaches and away from the coast along the length of both islands, and evacuation advisories were issued for the south island city of Kaikoura and for Wellington, the capital city.
