it struck less than an hour ago at 5:12 p.m. eastern time in the ocean about 33 kilometers south of the city of ofunato, japan. of course to usgs their pager alert level for this earthquake off japan, wolf is at green, meaning there is a low likelihood of casualties damage or economic losses according to noaa, the weather monitoring agency in the united states, there is no current warning of a tsunami from this 6.8 magnitude earthquake that again just hit off the coast of japan. i do have to say on a personal note that ofunato is one of the townses that i and my team went to in march of 2011. that city had been leveled by that tsunami. so the residents there had to have been at least a little nervous when they heard of word of this earthquake this evening. but again, no tsunami warning issued for this one, wolf. >> all right. that's good news at least on that front.
