Tsunami Scare: 7.1 Quake off Northeastern Japan Coast

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck the coast of Northeast Japan Thursday night.  This was the strongest aftershock since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that has claimed almost 25,000 lives and sparked a nuclear crisis.

The earthquake hit around 11:30 p.m.  and according to Fox News, there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage.  The tsunami waring has been lifted.

A manager of a Sendai convenience store said 100 people were at his store within an hour of the aftershock clearing shelves of ice, water and instant noodles.
