A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan’s Fukushima province Wednesday, triggering a tsunami warning and prompting fears of more radioactive shit could be spewed on a region still fucked up by the leak of the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear power plant following a tsunami wrought by the 9.1-magnitude 2011 Tokoku quake, CNN reports. Japanese officials said crews had checked reactors at other plants in the region and found no signs of leaks caused by the shaking.
The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said a Pacific-wide tsunami is unlikely and has not issued any alerts. The tsunami from the 2011 quake killed one man in Northern California who had arrived at a beach to take pictures of the incoming wave. His body was found on a beach 330 miles north in Oregon weeks later. Another man was killed in Indonesia. A wave from the September 1, 1923 Great Kanto earthquake upended currents in the eastern Pacific off the coast of California, causing several warships involved in a US Navy exercise a week later to collide, killing nine sailors.
