M7.1 quake strikes off the coast of Fukushima, minor tsunami observed
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- 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 alert for tsunami of 1 meter high for Japan's northeastern Pacific coast but lifted it about two hours later.
The agency urged people to stay away from waterfront areas after the 2:10 a.m. quake. The tsunami alert covered Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Chiba prefectures. It was lifted at 4:05 a.m.
A woman in her 60s in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, fell from her bed and hit her head and back, according to firefighters. She sustained minor injuries and was transported to a hospital.
No abnormality was reported at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was crippled by the magnitude 9.0 quake in March 2011, according to Tokyo Electric Power Co. Workers, however, were ordered to evacuate from waterfront.

Quake took a long time to settle down, as you can see.

Pray there is no abnormality at Fukushima. Pray that somehow they get the place under control and all the dangerous nuclear material down on the ground real soon.
The problem is the Olympic sized swimming pool perilously perched 3 stories off the ground, and holding a 1000 nuclear bombs worth of nuclear material, could come down in a big splash because of this or the next earthquake.
Luckily, it is still standing as of 5:51 EDT. Maybe prayers do work?
