Tsunami & evacuation warnings after M6.9 offshore quake in Japan



An earthquake measuring at 6.9 magnitude has struck off Honshu island in northern Japan, prompting a tsunami advisory which anticipated waves of up to 1m in height in Iwate Prefecture. People in some coastal areas have been advised to leave their homes.

The quake was recorded at around 8 am local time at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers. The epicenter was located off the Sanriku Coast, extending from southern Aomori prefecture, through Iwate prefecture and northern Miyagi prefecture.The strong quake could even be felt in in Tokyo, 690 kilometers away from the epicenter.

Japan Meteorological Survey issued a tsunami advisory for the Iwate Prefecture, warning that the waves may reach 1 meter in height. Two hours after the initial quake the agency lifted the tsunami warning for the country's northeast coast.

My guess, no real Tsunami.

It seems tsunamis only occur with a magnitude over 8 in some way?!?!

It depends, as it's not the magnitude of the earthquake that causes the tsunami, it's the amount of water displaced, so a relatively small earthquake that causes an underwater landslide can create a large tsunami.

For all the poop the PTB recieve from all walks of life... One gotta give credit to the USGS for this website as it is truly informative:

Surviving a Tsunami—Lessons from Chile, Hawaii, and Japan

Seen safely from high ground, a wave of the 1960 Chilean tsunami pours into Onagawa, Japan.
