Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake Hits Near Japan’s Fukushima
Kana Nishizawa
(Bloomberg) -- A magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit northern Japan off the coast of Fukushima prefecture late on Wednesday, and a tsunami advisory was issued.

The quake, which also shook buildings and disrupted power in parts of Tokyo, struck around 11:36 pm local time, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The intensity of the shaking was estimated at an upper 6 on Japan’s shindo scale of 7 in parts of Miyagi prefecture, public broadcaster NHK said. A tsunami warning of 1 meter was issued for northern Japan, it said.


That the same place with that giant Tsunami a few years ago?

Good thing it was 36 miles down with no sea floor displacement.
