Just discovered NHK World – http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/

Saw their logo on a Japanese Tsunami video that was being shown on the BBC News.

Looks like a good source of news from Japan.

News from the site:

“Japan’s Meteorological Agency says the quake struck at 2:46 PM Friday local time, off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture. The quake’s estimated magnitude has been upgraded to 8.8 — the strongest on record to hit Japan.

Major tsunami alerts for waves of up to 10 meters were issued from Hokkaido in the north, to Tokushima in the west.”
