In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms. NHK said more than 4 million buildings were without power in Tokyo and its suburbs.

A large numbers of people waited at Tokyo’s Shinjuku station, the world’s busiest train station, for service to resume so they could go home. TV announcers urged workers not to leave their offices to prevent injuries in case of more strong aftershocks

The north-east of Japan was hit the hardest, but it was felt in Tokyo too, some 400km away. Several smaller tremors were created off the back of the larger earthquake, along with 33m-high tidal waves and fires dotting the country. Gawker has a video from CNNshowing a blanket of mud engulfing fields and houses, with a couple of fires literally riding the wave. Jalopnik found a video of a boat going around and around in a whirlpool, and of a wave hitting an airport. It's not until you watch footage of the disaster that you realize how terrifying it must be for everyone on the ground.

Google has set up a Person Finder website, for relatives and friends of those in Japan. This comes after Google launched the website for the New Zealand earthquake back in February.

Find your Loved ones on google from new google person finder service which is specially made for Japan Earthquake.

Authorities in the U.S. territory of Guam said a tsunami could hit the island as early as 7:09 p.m. (4:09 a.m. ET). Sirens sounded in Hawaii around 10 p.m. Thursday (3 a.m. ET), warning residents they could expect tsunami waves five hours later.




This is a very large earthquake. We've evaluated it as about the same size as the earthquake last year in Chile. However, it's much closer to the Hawaiian islands than the Chile earthquake,
