The United States Geological Survey is reporting an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 near Iwaki, Honshu, Japan at Friday, east of the Fukushima nuclear plant that was crippled by a massive earthquake in 2011.
The quake hit at 3:10 a.m. local time in Japan and was felt in Tokyo which is about 300 miles from the epicenter.
Japanese authorities have issued a tsunami advisory for the Fukushima Prefecture and four others, expecting a 3-foot tsunami by 1:40pm ET, according to the Weather Channel.
The quake struck at a depth of 6.2 miles.
There were no immediate reports of damage.
Japanese authorities say the magnitude was 6.8.
The quake triggered multiple meltdowns and massive radiation leaks at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, about 160 miles northeast of Tokyo. About 19,000 people were killed.
