Small Tsunami Hits Japan, Fukushima Evacuated after 7.1 Quake
[An Nahar] A 30-centimeter (12-inch) tsunami hit Japan Friday after a powerful and shallow undersea quake, broadcaster NHK said, although there were no immediate signs of serious damage or injury.

People were being warned to stay away from the coast with the small wave rolling ashore in Ishinomaki around an hour after the 7.1 magnitude quake.

Workers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant were "ordered to evacuate from the waterfront", Kyodo reported, also quoting the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) as saying no new abnormalities had been found at the power station.
