Japan Tsunami

Japan hit by 1.2m tsunami wave
Local Japanese News In English

Japan has evacuated more than 320,000 people as a tsunami triggered by Chile's massive earthquake sent waves up to 1.2 metres high barrelling into its long Pacific coastline.
Floodwaters inundated buildings and left cars stranded in eastern harbours on the main island of Honshu and on far-northern Hokkaido, while white-crested waves raced from the ocean up coastal rivers.
By nightfall last night, police had reported no casualties and authorities downgraded the threat a notch from a "major tsunami alert", a warning of possible three-metre waves they had issued for the first time in over 15 years. (Herald Sun) Source: Source 1
