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?

Serf's up! (I mean, "surf's up").

See. We can joke about that over here. Joking (and disaster prep), is about all you can do! :-)
