A tsunami warning was issued Saturday for Japan and a broad area surrounding the Pacific Ocean, including Alaska, after a major undersea earthquake east of the Kuril Islands, according to two warning centers. The earthquake was measured at a massive 8.2 magnitude. An official in Japan said instruments measured a 8-inch drop in the tidal level, suggesting a surge could be on the way.

News is starting to spread around...let's hope the early detection helps to avoid loss of life.

Small Tsunami waves hit Japan with no major effect, and the window of risk is over.

I really hope that this IS just a warning, not a prediction.
