Tsunami warning for Japan after 7.4 magnitude earthquake

[pussylover]

" A three-meter (9.8-foot) tsunami warning was issued for Japan on Monday after a strong 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the northeastern coast, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency and the US Geological Survey. The threat was later revised down to a tsunami advisory, authorities said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency initially issued a three-meter tsunami warning for the Iwate prefecture and parts of Hokkaido and Aomori – later downgraded to an advisory. It also issued an advisory in other areas of northeastern Japan, estimating a tsunami of up to one meter (3.3 feet). The agency also warned that aftershocks of a similar magnitude could happen in the coming week.

So far, observations of tsunami waves are all well below the warning level that was issued. One 0.8-meter (2.6-foot) tsunami has struck Kuji Port in Iwate Prefecture, where Japan’s national broadcaster NHK has reported the water is still rising. Another 0.4-meter (1.3-foot) tsunami hit Miyako Port in Iwate Prefecture."
