Japan Earthquake & Tsunami

The Tsunami warning issued after a powerful earthquake in Japan has been widened to include the rest of Pacific coast, including Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, and the entire coast of Central and South America.

The United States also widened its tsunami warning to the rest of Pacific.

Meanwhile, a Tsunami watch has been issued for the Oregon coast and reports said that waves could hit before 7:30 am PT. 

Most elevators came to a halt, and some radioactive plants shut down automatically. However, none of the radioactive materials have leaked to the outside. 15 miles under the sea, 18 miles east off the coast of Japan, and scientists are calling it a "super-quake", its also a major test for the tsunami warnings, people need to be prepared. There is another Tsunami due in Taiwan, the Prime Minister is telling people to evacuate to higher grounds, with 7 aftershocks already being reported. From Mexico to Alaska people are being told to get to high ground.
