An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 hit northern Japan on Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, generating a tsunami that hit the nation's northern Pacific coast.
 
The earthquake, which was felt in Tokyo, was centered off the coast of Fukushima prefecture at a depth of about 10 km (6 miles) and struck at 5:59 a.m. (2059 GMT) the agency said.
 
A 60 cm (2 foot) tsunami had been observed at Fukushima's Onahama Port and a 90 cm (3 foot) tsunami at Soma soon after, public broadcaster NHK said. The region is the same that was devastated by a tsunami following a massive earthquake in 2011.
A tsunami warning of up to 3 meters (10 feet) has been issued.

    They still haven't fixed the reactor that melted down in 2011.

    Because it's a fact. One people like you like to blatantly ignore.
     
    You made a claim that a tragedy is being ignored in favour of further election coverage. I point out one of the reasons why, and you slander me...Welcome to America.
