Millions Into Darknes After an Earthquake Hit Japan

More than million people in Japan are left in darkness after a mighty earthquake hit the country and rocked building and cut power. 

It also arouse the fear of Tsunami - just 11 years after a tidal wave left nearly 19,000 people dead or missing in the same area.

The powerful 7.3-magnitude quake jolted the east of the country and left supermarkets and houses trashed while 170 miles away in Tokyo the city was plunged into darkness amid the electrical shortage.

It also triggered a fire alarm at a turbine at the crumpled Fukushima Daiichi plant, authorities said, adding they were monitoring the situation on Wednesday night.

Some good news is that Japan's nuclear authority said no abnormalities were detected at the site that went into meltdown 11 years ago when it was battered by a 9.0-magnitude quake.
