Heck of a strong quake off the coast of Fukushima; magnitude 7. The earthquake led to power outages in the affected regions, and videos showed intense shaking inside homes, with furniture rattling and possessions flying off surfaces. Whoa a little shaking in Japan tonight. It also sparked fears of a repeat of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, when a severe earthquake generated a tsunami and the worst nuclear incident since Chernobyl in March 11 marks the 10th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster.

Japan's Meteorological Agency issued an advisory for a tsunami up to 1 meter yard in height for Miyagi prefecture immediately after the quake, but lifted it about 90 minutes later.

The strong temblor caused a temporary blackout in some areas and suspended bullet train services in the area, NHK said. The Nuclear Regulation Authority said no abnormalities have been detected at nuclear power plants in the region, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, which suffered meltdowns in the quake and tsunami.
