The U.S. Geological Survey upgraded the strength of the first quake to a magnitude 8.9.

Cars and buildings have been swept away by a crashing wave after the earthquake The area is 240 miles (380 kilometre) northeast of Tokyo.In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety.TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo.In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms.Footage on NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks. A 7.9 magnitude earthquake has hit Tokyo, sparking a tsunami Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.Thirty minutes after the quake, tall buildings were still swaying in Tokyo and mobile phone networks were not working.
