tsunami hits Japan

 

November 16, 2006 12:00am

 

A SMALL tsunami measuring 40cm hit Japan's northeastern coast yesterday after a massive earthquake, a meteorologist said.

 

The seismic wave struck Nemuro, a city on the northern island of Hokkaido near the Russian-administered Kuril islands, said an official at the local branch of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

 

The tsunami was the first reported to hit after the earthquake in the Pacific Ocean that registered 8.1 on the Richter scale and hit at 8.15pm (2215 AEDT).

 

The wave was far smaller than the potential 2m tsunamis feared in the warning by the meteorological agency. No damage was immediately reported.

Because there was an earthquake in the middle of the sea, therefore they put out a warning to ppl just in case something big was gonna happen ... and thankfully nothing did!!

 

And Rob would she really do this if she couldn't ...
