Doesn't sound like a major disaster.  They sure don't need another.

An earthquake registering a preliminary magnitude 7.1 struck off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture early Saturday morning, and the Japan Meteorological Agency issued an advisory for tsunami of up to 1 meter for the prefecture.

The focus of the 2:10 a.m. quake was in the Pacific roughly 10 km underground around 290 km east-southeast of Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture, north of Fukushima.

The quake registered a moderate intensity of 4 on the Japanese seismic scale of 7 in Fukushima, Miyagi, Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures.

JMA urged people in Fukushima area to stay away from the coast.

Tepco reported there was no damage to the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
