Meteorological Agency issued a warning for a possible tsunami up to a
meter high following a 7.3 magnitude earthquake Friday.
A tsunami advisory has been issued for the Fukushima coast, nearly two
years after a deadly tsunami blighted the prefecture and caused the
worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
According to the Weather Channel, a 1-meter tsunami is expected to make landfall around 1:40 p.m. Friday. The 7.3-magnitude quake that preceded it was felt all the way from Tokyo to northern Japan, the channel reports.

In March 2011, a powerful 9.0 magnitude quake struck around 200 miles north of Japan, spurring a devastating tsunami.
Massive 30-foot waves washed over much of the Fukushima prefecture, including the Daiichi Nuclear Plant, causing an estimated $300 billion in damage.

The death toll for the 2011 tsunami is currently 15,883, according to CNN, and nearly 90,000 people are still displaced from their homes over fears of nuclear radiation.
The quake struck off the coast of Honshu, Japan, an area on a massive fault line. Japan is straddled over four major tectonic plates – the North America plate, the Eurasia plate, the Pacific plate, and the Philippine Sea plate.

However, the U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that there is a low likelihood for fatalities or economic loss from this earthquake and tsunami.
