Japan Braced for More Aftershocks of Giant 2011 Quake Seismologists said an earthquake that struck near Japans shuttered Fukushima nuclear site early Saturday was an aftershock of the tremor that sparked 2011s deadly tsunami, and warned of more to come. The strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake off the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan caused a minor tsunami in the early hours, though authorities lifted all weather warnings roughly two hours later. Seismologist Yasuhiro Yoshida of the Japan Meteorological Agency said it was a delayed tectonic reaction to the 9.0-magnitude quake which left the Fukushima nuclear power plant in a meltdown crisis after the coast was ravaged by monster tidal waves in March 2011. naharnet/stories/en/138555-japan-braced-for-more-aftershocks-of-giant-2011-quake
