Earthquake hits Japan

Enormous earthquake hits northern Japan.  From viewing live coverage online, earthquake generated tsunami all along the coast.  One shown was very powerful sweeping far inland moving entire frigates into farmlands, smashing into buildings unabated.  A huge fire at oil refineries in Chiba just east of Tokyo.  Prime Minster of Japan gives a very brief understated message that to me does not exude credibility and connection to people.  I admitted went to Al Jazeera to watch live footage and English commentary.  1 m tsunami detected by buoys in the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii has been given a warning to evacuate to higher grounds.
