Damn….

Magnitude 7.3 earthquake off coast of Fukushima in Japan. Evacuation warnings for tsunami.

Tsunami warnings have been posted, and this is likely to strike near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Currently, there are 100s of storage tanks holding radioactive water that has been used to cool the damaged reactors, and it’s too soon to know if any of those tanks were damaged by this quake.

Also, I understand that the breakwater has been expanded, but not sure the extent to which it was done. The original breakwater was insufficiently high to protect against tsunami risk.
