A magnitude-7.3 earthquake rumbled under the Pacific about 200 miles east of Japan at 10:10 a.m. PST this morning. The quake was reportedly felt from Tokyo to northern Japan. Authorities estimated a meager 3 foot tsunami may hit the Fukushima Prefecture.
What does that mean for us on the other side of the ocean? Thankfully, it would appear nothing.
