URGENT - Japan Earthquake Tsunami Threat
(CNN)--The 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck off the east coast of Japan on Friday hasn't created a widespread threat of a tsunami in the Pacific, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The agency said its forecast was based on historical earthquake and tsunami data. But it added that earthquakes of this size can create local tsunamis.
