Reuters has it now: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/25/us-japan-quake-idUSBRE99O0T820131025

(Reuters) - A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck 231 miles east of the Japanese island of Honshu on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

A U.S. Pacific tsunami warning center said there was no destructive widespread tsunami threat following the quake.

Turned out to be all hype.  The tsunamis were about a foot high and little if any damage has been reported.

The media was just salivating at being able to run more anti-nuke stories.
