Japan lifts tsunami warnings after 7.4 earthquake

  • 7 years ago
Japan has lifted tsunami warnings following a 7.4 magnitude tremor that hit its eastern coast. The earthquake hit near Fukushima Monday, triggering warnings of 10-feet-tall high waves. The waves which eventually hit the coast were much smaller than initially reported. Officials have said the quake is an aftershock to the deadly 2011 tremor, which left 18,000 dead, and damaged Japan's nuclear power plant. As of now, officials noted there is no sign of damage to the nuclear power plant this time around.
