A strong earthquake has shaken northern Japan, and regional tsunami advisories have been issued.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said Wednesday evening's earthquake was 6.8 preliminary magnitude off the coast. A tsunami of about a half-meter was expected for Aomori and Iwate prefectures.

Iwate was in the region heavily damaged by last year's earthquake and tsunami.

Half a meter tsunami? I’d still bug-out to high ground just to be sure. What time is it in Japan?

LOL! I sorta have an advantage sometimes because I am in news and get feeds from several sources. Surprising though that it first came across ABC/WTAE TV local.
