Another earthquake with magnitude of 8.9 tremor hit off the coast of Honshu, Japan today at around 1446 local time (0546 GMT), a sequence of major tremors was initiated - six of them within an hour-and-a-quarter that were all bigger than or all equal to last month's quake in Christchurch, New Zealand (6.3). The largest of the aftershocks was a 7.1.
The US-run Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said amplitudes of up 7.3m were recorded on the coast of Japan. Even out in the deep ocean, the specialist tsunami warning buoys were recording wave amplitudes of a metre, which is considerable.

Japanese defence aircraft on 6727 and 6751 kHz USB at 0830z, very busy and probably related to earthquake.
