Numerous videos of the moment the powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Fukushima, Japan on Tuesday have been circulating around the internet. A clip uploaded by newspaper Guardian shows the suspended transit signs at a train station swaying back and forth the moment the tremor hits.

A strong undersea earthquake unleashed a small tsunami Feb. 17 off the same coastline of northern Japan devastated by a tsunami in 2011 that left more than 18,000 people dead.
      
The quake was followed by a series of tremors, the largest of which was magnitude 5.8, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
      

Minor tsunami hit the northern Japanese coastline early Saturday, including in a city near the Fukushima nuclear plant, reports Japan Times. 

It was caused by a strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the Pacific coast.There were no immediate reports of damage, however, and authorities lifted all advisories roughly two hours later.

Seismologists registered around 135 aftershocks between the Saturday 6.9 Richter scale earthquake in the Aegean Sea and Sunday morning. 

Around 20 of them were of 4 Richter scale or a little higher, the remaining are between 2.8 and 3.
