From CNN: - Another major earthquake hit Japan Sunday, on its northern coast which prompted tsunami warnings on nearby coastal regions, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.
Based from the report of Japan news agency Kyodo, there were no immediate reports of injuries and damages.
The earthquake which struck at 10:57 a.m. has its epicenter at about 130 miles east of Sendai.
The earthquake was more than 20 miles deep and had a magnitude of 7.0, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said. But JMA measured the earthquake at 7.1 in magnitude.
Tsunami advisories:
Tsunami advisories were issued for the coastal regions of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, the JMA said.

Officials in Ofunato, a city in Iwate, advised residents to evacuate.
The JMA forecast the height of the tsunami could reach half a meter (about 20 inches).

My aunt is in Japan, she said if you always experience earthquake, you will also get used to it. But, this is really scary for me, so I also admire people who works in Japan! I hope that this earthquake won't cause anymore Tsunami or more deaths...
