Thanks for the heads up, Black.

VOA News April 07, 2011

A powerful earthquake has hit just off the northeast coast of Japan, sparking a new tsunami alert.

Japan's NHK television on Thursday immediately warned residents in the area to move to higher ground.

NHK said the tsunami could hit the damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake registered 7.4 magnitude on the Richter scale.

Japan is still reeling form a massive 9.0 earthquake and massive tsunami that devastated swathes of the northeast on March 11.
