Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a door was swinging back and forth slightly, and a hanging plant was swaying.

Civil Defence here in NZ is saying there's no tsunami threat (to NZ anyway):

Lots of sources claiming it might be anywhere between 8.0 and 9.0.
