7.3 magnitude quake hits Japan, Fukushima residents urged to flee
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 hit northern Japan on Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, issuing tsunami advisories for much of the nation's northern Pacific coast.
The epicenter of the earthquake, which was felt in Tokyo, was off the coast of Fukushima prefecture at a depth of about 10 km, the agency said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.

Fukishima is a Prefecture....kinda like a state here in the US. It is a fairly large area.
The area that was affected by the nuclear accident was fairly small.
And really , there isn't much else in the way of places to go.
