Japan Issues Tsunami Warning After 8.1 Earthquake Strikes Nearby Islands
TOKYO — Japan's meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning and told Pacific coast residents to flee to higher ground after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.1 hit near islands north of the country.
A tsunami about 6 1/2 feet tall or higher could hit the Pacific coast of Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido and main island of Honshu after 9:10 p.m. (7:10 a.m. EST), the agency said. An official from the town of Shibetsu on Hokkaido, Kiyoshi Takimoto, told public broadcater NHK that about 4,000 of the town's 6,100 residents lived along the coast and had been told to flee to higher ground. Takimoto said he didn't notice the quake. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, according to NHK. The quake struck about 244 miles east of the Etorofu islands, which are north of Japan, at 6:15 a.m. EST, according to the meteorological agency. Cindy Preller, an official with the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, said no tsunami was expected to hit Hawaii or the West Coast of North or South America. She said there was a slight chance one could hit the western Aleutian Islands. A Russian official said a powerful earthquake had struck the Kuril Islands area and there was no immediate word of damage or casualties. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami warning had been issued for Russia and Japan. Tsunami waves, which are generated by earthquakes, are often barely noticeable in the ocean but can rise to great heights once they arrive at shore. Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries because it sits atop four tectonic plates. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,229541,00.html
