Japan Tsunami Warning Expected after 7.4 Quake

 Unfortunately, a new earthquake has rattled Japan for the second time in a month. The 7.4 scale quake is not as bad as last month's 9.0 monster, but is still a large one.

Now there is word that there may be a tsunami after the quake. There is also concern about the nuclear plant in the north, which has been evacuated.

There is now a Tsunami warning.

According to NHK, Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) says there are no additional problems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, where workers have been struggling to contain radiation since last month's quake and resulting tsunami.
Hundreds of aftershocks have shaken the northeast region devastated by the March 11 earthquake, but few have been stronger than 7.0.
 Terrible.
