New Significant Earthquake near Japan

News reports say mag. 7.4, USGS says 7.1 - off the coast in the same general area as the previous large quake.

NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Center says "BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA A DESTRUCTIVE PACIFIC-WIDE TSUNAMI IS NOT EXPECTED AND THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII." However, a tsunami warning has been issued for Japan, according to a number of news sources.

Official reports say there was no additional damage to the messed up nuclear power plants.
