A large quake, registering around magnitude 6 in Sendai, struck off the coast of northeastern Japan at around 11:30 last night. Got me out of bed and under my door to ride out the shaking, but thankfully it was pretty brief. Everything’s fine here in Tokyo, though the northeast is reporting power outages and some injuries and fires. All tsunami warnings have been lifted, and there is no reported damage to the Fukushima Dai-Ichi or other nuclear power plants.
