New 7.4 Earthquake in Japan, April 7, 2011

 This is breaking from FoxNews:

DEVELOPING: TOKYO -- Japan's northeastern coast has been rattled by a strong aftershock. The Japan meteorological agency has issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to one meter. The warning was issued for a coastal area already ravaged by last month's tsunami.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center tells Fox News they do not expect a Pacific-wide tsunami from this earthquake.
Officials say the quake was a 7.4-magnitude and hit 25 miles under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture. The quake that preceded last month's tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.
Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.
