A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake jolted the coast of Fukushima in Northern Japan, rattling the capital Tokyo and prompting a tsunami advisory for parts of the northeast coast on Wednesday night, smashing furniture, knocking out power and killing four people.
A small tsunami reached shore, but the low-risk advisory was lifted by Thursday morning.
The region is part of northern Japan that was devastated by a deadly 9.0 quake and tsunami 11 years ago that caused nuclear reactor meltdowns, spewing massive radiation that still makes some parts uninhabitable.
