An earthquake measuring between 8.4 and 8.9 on the Richter Scale has struck at a shallow depth off the coast of northern Japan and tsunami warnings have been posted for Russia, the Marcus Islands, the Northern Marianas and coastal Japan. Guam, Taiwan, New Guinea, Indonesia, the Phillippines and Hawaii are also under tsunami warnings. It is becoming clear that the tsunami has caused an enormous disaster in Japan.
