For the uninitiated, Japan was hit by a series of powerful earthquakes on Monday. Reports suggest that at least eight people are dead and buildings and vehicles have been damaged. In some areas, officials have warned residents to stay away from their homes as there is a risk of more such quakes. The Japan Meteorological Agency has already issued a major tsunami warning for Ishikawa and lower-level tsunami warnings or advisories for the rest of the western coast of Japan's main island of Honshu and for the northern island of Hokkaido.
