Is there a tsunami warning issued just now after 6.5 aftershock earthquake again? In Japan?

Question:


just heard it on CNN

Answer:


Nope. Nothing on the tsunami warning system.

Keep in mind that the main quake was over 5,000 times as strong as a 6.5.

Update: the tsunami warning system has now specifically said that there is ZERO chance of a tsunami. Which is far better than not saying anything.

Further update: there is now a "notification" (less severe than either an alert or warning) of "minor and extremely localized activity". And the aftershock itself has been downgraded to 6.1.
