Another strong earthquake hits Japan this Sunday morning. At around 9:57 a.m., Sunday, a magnitude of 7.1 quake hit Japan’s northeastern coast prompting a tsunami warning for the area still recovering from a devastating quake and killer tsunami which happened last March.

Residents in coastal areas were warned to evacuate, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

According to reports, the quake could generate a tsunami of up to 20 inches (50 centimeters), but the initial waves were only about 4 inches (10 centimeters).

23,000 dead and missing people and a nuclear crisis were the casualties left by the March 11 earthquake in Japan, the worst in the country’s history.
