    Earthquake rocks Japan/Tokyo

    BBC:

    A powerful earthquake registering a magnitude of 6.8 has been felt in the Japanese capital Tokyo.

    A tsunami alert has been issued for the country's Pacific coastal region, the meteorological agency has said.

    Initial reports say there have been some casualties in the prefecture of Sendai, Kyoto News is quoted as saying.

    Eyewitnesses have spoken of buildings swaying in the heart of Tokyo following the tremor, which struck around 1146 (02:46 GMT).
    Hope everything is OK there.

    Sasq, keep us posted.
