MSNBC Breaking News: Tsunami expected to hit northeastern Japan after 8.1 magnitude earthquake.

MSNBC Breaking News: Tsunami estimated to be 16 inches high hits northern Japan.

Any news on this?  Do we have any Japanese posters?

Five small tsunamis reached Japan, no significant damage reported.  Tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific Basin, but no reports of any serious damage.

Not too much damage, at least in the States:

"Tsunamis slap Hawaii, Calif. north coast"

Tsunamis generated by a major earthquake near Japan left behind little damage but offered a legitimate test of international warning systems.

The waves, some measuring a few feet high, struck Hawaii shores Wednesday, slightly injuring one swimmer and temporarily flooding a harbor. A surge along California's northern coast destroyed two docks in Crescent City Harbor and damaged a third.

The waves hit Hawaii about six hours after a magnitude 8.1 earthquake struck north of Japan.        Tsunami warnings were issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which reported that its system of sending alerts functioned properly.

"It went very smoothly, and there weren't any major problems at all," said Brian Shiro, a geophysicist at the center. "We issued a warning for 1,000 kilometers surrounding the earthquake and an advisory for the rest of the Pacific Ocean."
