TOKYO: An offshore quake struck 140 kilometres (87 miles) northeast of Tokyo Monday morning, shaking tall buildings in Japan's capital, but authorities did not issue a tsunami alert.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The quake off coastal Ibaraki prefecture, one of many aftershocks since Friday's massive 8.9 quake, had a 5.8-magnitude, said the US Geological Survey , which said the quake struck at a depth of 18 kilometres.

gotta link?
btw you can't see a tsunami wave in the open ocean. It may be 10 feet high but it has a wavelength of 250 miles. The human eye can't perceive a 10 foot incline over 250 miles.

It was another hydrogen explosion like the one that blew the roof off a few days ago, this was expected to occur in reactor #3.
Also reports of smoke from #1
I just read that the officials in Japan say that the containment vessel in reactor 3 was deformed from the pressure building inside.
If that was true they had no choice but to vent no matter what the consequences were.
