^^They're saying 5 meter waves.

Also there was just an explosion at the #3 reactor in Fukushima. Details and severity unknown now, waiting and watching the news for details.
Just felt a minor quake here about an hour ago, centered farther in the north.

Ok they just said in a press conference the damage and situation is very similar to when the first reactor blew. So the outer concrete shell collapsed or blew off, but the steel housing around the reactor is intact. The radiation emitted was probably minimal again, and they don't need to increase the evacuation radius from 20km. Hope the people in the immediate area are ok.
