Tsunami alert has been issued after 7.4-magnitude earthquake strikes off Japan's northeastern coast.

2m tsunami expected in the areas already devastated any moment now Sad

Still a lot of work to do, but let's hope it's all positive news from now on.

Looks like the official death toll for the earthquake and tsunami is going to be about 25,000.  With many thousands swept out into the Pacific I wonder when the missing will be moved into the other column.

Basically 20,000 quakes in the Tohoku region stronger than M3 (on the scale the Japanese use for earthquakes) in 2011, compared to 1,101 in the whole of 2010.

looks like local reports were exaggerated somewhat and they got away pretty lightly
