A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima in northern Japan on Wednesday evening, leaving at least four people dead and scores injured, cutting off power for more than 2 million homes in the Tokyo area.
当地时间3月16日晚，日本福岛县附近海域发生里氏7.4级强烈地震，目前已导致至少4人死亡、多人受伤，超200万户家庭断电。

地震发生后，日本气象厅向福岛县、宫城县沿海地区发出海啸警报，预计海啸高度为1米。3月17日上午，海啸警报被全部解除，解除前观测到的海啸高度相对震级来说不算高。
