BREAKING NEWS: A magnitude-7.1 aftershock has rattled Japan on the one-month anniversary of a massive earthquake that spawned a deadly tsunami.
A warning has been issued for a one metre tsunami, the same as after another 7.1 aftershock that shook the northeast coast last week. There was no tsunami after that quake.
People at a large electronics store in central Sendai screamed and ran outside, though the shaking made it hard to move around. Mothers grabbed their children, and windows shook. After a minute or two, people returned to the store.
The United States Geological Survey reported said the very shallow quake was centred 22km southwest of Iwaki, south of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant.
The Pacific Tsunami Centre said the quake had not triggered a widespread tsunami that could reach the US and Canadian West coasts but could cause a local one.作者: shot 时间: 2011-4-11 22:02:52
