The Tsunami That Wasn't

From the Associated Press via Yahoo! News: "Small waves hit Japan after tsunami fear," by Hiroko Tabuchi--

A powerful undersea earthquake prompted tsunami warnings Wednesday for Japan and Russia but the danger appeared to pass after a series of tiny waves hit the northern Japanese coast.

The waves did not swell higher than 16 inches and rapidly diminished in size, but Japan's meteorological agency said that it would wait for at least several hours before withdrawing its warning of possible larger waves.
