New Zealand residents were given the all-clear to return to their homes after a series of earthquakes over several hours set off tsunami warnings, according to reports.

Three earthquakes struck the Pacific region over a period of 6 hours on Friday, with the last quake registering as 8.1 magnitude -- one of the most powerful earthquakes in the region in modern history.

Officials issued advisories for coastal areas after the first quake -- registering as 7.3 magnitude -- originated around 100 miles from the islands.

The quakes created waves ranging from 3 to 10 feet in height and forcing officials to issue tsunami warnings in various countries around the Pacific.

Even Hawaii observed a tsunami warning that lasted 2 and a half hours, Hawaii News Now reported.

Despite the significant strength of the earthquakes, no widespread injuries or deaths have been reported.

New Zealand residents only reported gridlock as people fled their homes for higher ground, as well as some structural damage.
