Deja Vu: Japan rattled by powerful earthquake, triggering tsunami warnings
Just The News
A powerful, 7.3-magnitude earthquake on Wednesday struck Japan near Namie.
Namie is a small town in Fukushima Prefecture. The event triggered a one-meter-high tsunami warning for coasts in the area and a message from the Japan Meteorological Agency advising residents to keep away from the coastline.
More than 2 million households were left without electricity – including in Tokyo, according to local officials.
