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.
