18. Damage appears to be minor.
Edited on Thu Apr-07-11 10:56 AM by godai
I'm watching the reports on NHK. There is some power loss in Sendai and other cities to the north. Tsunamis will be small and there's nothing left to destroy where a tsunami might hit. Could slow recovery if areas are reflooded. It's surprising to me that this earthquake is in just about the same location as the big one. But, better that it's there and offshore and not damaging to major cities.

I'd think there could be new cracks in the ground at the Fukushima reactor site, which would be another setback. Otherwise, no new damage at Fukushima has been reported.

This happened at 11:30 pm in Japan, so still dark in the area.

NHK just reported that tsunami warnings have been lifted.
