      No injuries reported, according to NHK. This was in the vicinity of the 9.0 quake, 40 km below the sea bed off Sendai.

  2. 2m high tsunami by AmiMoJo · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency the tsunami is about 2m high. Coastal defences should be okay in most places but obviously anyone near the coast should retreat inland if possible.
