Japan earthquake sparks tsunami scare

??? Let's hope they have their nukes under control this time.....

A 7.3 magnitude quake has struck off Japan's eastern coast, triggering a small tsunami and sparking evacuations. A one-metre wave hit Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture and many people heeded calls to move to higher ground before all alerts were later lifted.

The quake epicentre was about 245km (150 miles) south-east of Kamiashi at a depth of about 36km, the US Geological Survey said. Miyagi was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
Swaying violently

The US-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center had said there was no threat to the wider Pacific Ocean but had warned a local tsunami could be destructive for local coastlines.
