The quake was recorded at around 8 am local time at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers. The epicenter was located off the Sanriku Coast, extending from southern Aomori prefecture, through Iwate prefecture and northern Miyagi prefecture.
Japan Meteorological Survey has issued a tsunami advisory for the Iwate Prefecture, warning that the waves may reach 1m in height.
Meanwhile, an evacuation order has been issued for coastal towns in Iwate prefecture. Thousands of people are reportedly leaving their homes while boats are sailing out of the harbor.
There were no irregularities reported at the Onagawa and Higashidori nuclear plants in nearby Miyagi and Aomori prefectures, the facilities' operator Tohoku Electric Power Co. said. A spokesman for TEPCO also reported no irregularities at Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini plants.

According to the interactive map - it does show earthquake activity. However on U Tube link this is the
only report that I was able to find on the internet.
I wonder if any of this has anything to do with the huge number of container ships sitting off the West Coast of America?
If this is report is true, why would the military not be able to break up the potential oncoming Tsunami by targeting the wall - but of course that would assume that the military is interested in stopping the potential wall of destruction that could hit the East Coast?
