A powerful 6.6 earthquake rocked the area of Tokyo, Japan early this morning (about 5am in Japan) while another even more powerful magnitude 7.6 tremor hit the Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean quake was placed by the US Geological Survey at about 160 miles (257 kilometers) north of Port Blair, 20.6 miles (33 kilometers) deep in India's Andaman Islands.
A regional tsunami alert was issued for India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh but was later recalled.
