Tsunami hits Japan after 7.3-magnitude quake
TOKYO — A one-metre-high tsunami hit northeast Japan Friday after a powerful undersea quake struck off the coast, sending thousands fleeing to safety in a region that was devastated in last year's quake-tsunami disaster.

Broadcasters urged residents along the shoreline to remember the 2011 catastrophe and move to higher ground when the initial tremors rocked the region.

Telephone systems jammed up with the sheer volume of calls, complicating officials' efforts to evacuate exposed areas until the tsunami warning was lifted two hours later.

Meteorologists said the wave swept ashore just after 6 pm (0900 GMT) in Ishinomaki, a city badly hit by the 2011 quake-generated tsunami that wrecked a large swathe of coast, killing thousands.
There were no immediate reports of any fatalities following the quake, which had a magnitude of 7.3, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Several smaller tsunamis were also recorded, including a 40-centimetre wave at Soma, a city that lies just outside the evacuation zone declared around the Fukushima nuclear plant after meltdowns there last year.
Operator Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) told AFP there were no reports of any problems at the crippled plant.

Broadcaster NHK reported 5,000 people had fled in Miyagi prefecture, a region devastated in last year's disaster.
