Were there any warnings about the 2007 Gisborne earthquake in New Zealand in 2007?
It is not possible to issue warnings about earthquakes at present as they cannot be predicted with current knowledge.It is hoped that in the future, warnings will be able to be issued for some types of earthquakes that have foreshocks (smaller earthquakes that happen before the major quake). There is no mention of foreshocks for the Gisborne 2007 quake on the Geonet website. There were aftershocks. See the related links.

More than 2,000 people were killed, 3,000 injured, and 2,000,000 left homeless. The temblor caused $550 million in damage, and the destruction didn't end there -- the earthquake also caused a tsunami that resulted in 61 deaths and $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 deaths in the Philippines; and $500,000 in damage to the west coast of the United States. Checking other sites, including the Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences of New Zealand and the Geophysics Program at the University of Washington. Every site we checked corroborated the first site's information.Okay, we now know about the biggest quake in the world, but what about the biggest quake to hit the United States? Well, it was a 9.2 rocker that hit Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 28, 1964. The destruction was massive, but, luckily, only 125 lives were lost as a result of the earthquake (15) and ensuing tsunami (110).The strongest earthquake ever recorded is the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake that occurred in Chile. This had a magnitude of 9.5.

In terms of deaths, the 2010 Haiti earthquake was worse. The quake killed an estimated 250,000 people. The December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed an estimated 230,000 people. Some dispute the number of people killed in the Haiti quake and place the number around 94,000. However, in terms of human suffering, loss of property and the problems with disease and caring for the survivors, the Haiti quake was much worse.
