Japan Hit by 8.9 Magnitude Eatrhquake And Hit by Tsunami

Tokyo (CNN) -- An 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan, triggering tsunamis and sending a massive body of water filled with debris that included boats and houses inching toward highways.

The epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from the capital, Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there felt the tremors.

The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. Waves of debris flowed like lava across farmland, pushing boats, houses and trailers toward highways.
