A 7.6 quake has been reported off the coast of Japan near the Fukushima prefecture.

A tsunami warning has been issued.

[UPDATED 11:17 a.m. PDT]

The quake appears to have been downgraded from a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 to 7.3. The Fukushima Daichii power plant has been evacuated, but local sources say there appears to be no significant damage.

A local tsunami warning has been issued for Honshu, but not for the rest of the islands or the Pacific.

It appears that the quake, although powerful, may have done minimal damage.

Tsunami warning is just for 3 feet of height and any tsunami is not expected to cause significant disruption.

[UPDATED 11:47 a.m. PDT]

There does not appear to be any major damage or casualties associated with this quake. Catholic Online will publish new stories on this event as developments are reported. This concludes our breaking news coverage for this event.
