A huge 7.3-magnitude earthquake has hit Fukushima, Japan - triggering a tsunami warning as tremors were felt as far away as Tokyo.
Parts of Tokyo have endured power outages as a result.
It is not yet clear if any people were injured following the quake, or the scale of damage caused.
One witness posted on the ESMC website: "Two one after another. Second was the strongest. Not too bad but in this area of Northern Tokyo it seemed to go on for a couple minutes."
Another wrote: "Felt very strongly in Kashima. Apartment was strongly swaying the entire time."

Tokyo Electric Power Company is checking its nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture after a strong earthquake struck the region.
Authorities have not reported any abnormalities at nuclear-related facilities in Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says more than 2.09 million households in nine prefectures in its service area are being left without electricity.

Those will be little ripple waves after war begins.

I hope all the huge bags of contaminated top soil and other radioactive waste is stored in areas way above the potential tsunami zone-although I know a lot is stored at the nuclear plant.
I always thought that would be a danger if they had another serious
earthquake.
Hoping for no damage/tsunamis.[/quote
