(CNN) -- Fires burned in northeastern Japan Monday evening after a
powerful earthquake shook the region, sending a landslide into Iwaki City,
authorities said.
.
A preliminary estimate put the quake's magnitude at 7.1, which was later
lowered to 6.6, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Residents in
Tokyo also felt the jolts.
.
A tsunami warning issued by Japan's Meteorological Agency was canceled.

Japanese officials issued tsunami warnings and evacuated a crippled
nuclear plant after a strong earthquake struck the nation's northeast
coast Monday.
.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the magnitude of the quake at 7.1, the
same strength as a major aftershock that hit on Thursday. Japan's NHK
Television said a tsunami of up to one meter was expected along portions
of the northeast coast, the same area that was hit by a massive earthquake
and tsunami on March 11.
.
Officials at the Fukushima nuclear plant, which has been leaking radiation
since the March 11 quake, said workers had been temporarily evacuated.
They said power from off-site to three of the plant's units was disrupted
and that the pumping of cooling water to the units had been temporarily
suspended, but they do not consider the situation to be dangerous.
.
The latest aftershock came almost exactly one month after the 9.0
magnitude March 11 quake, which caused a tsunami that washed away whole
towns and villages along the country's northeast coast. Across Japan,
citizens paused and offered prayers at 2:46 p.m. local time ((0546 UTC)),
the precise moment of the quake.
.
More than 13,000 bodies have been recovered and more than 14,000 remain
missing, many still lying under the rubble or washed out to sea.
.
Monday, authorities announced preparations to expand the 20-kilometer
evacuation zone around the Fukushima plant. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio
Edano said residents should prepare to evacuate from certain towns and
villages outside the zone as soon as radiation levels exceed
pre-determined levels.

A 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit Japan about 60 kilometers from Tokyo
Electric Power Co.s stricken nuclear power plant, prompting a tsunami
warning and shaking buildings in the countrys capital.
.
The quake struck at 5:16 p.m. local time 38 kilometers (24 miles) west of
Iwaki and 163 kilometers from Tokyo at a depth of 10 kilometers, according
to the U.S. Geological Survey. USGS revised the magnitude down from 7.1
earlier.
.
The second-highest tsunami warning was issued by the Japan Meteorological
Agency, which said a surge as high as 2 meters (6.6 feet) is possible on
parts of the eastern coast of Honshu. There is no threat of a widespread
destructive tsunami, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
.
The quake registered as high as minus-6, the third-highest level on the
Japanese scale of seismic intensity, in parts of Fukushima and Ibaraki
prefectures, according to the weather agency. National broadcaster NHK
Television showed footage of fishing boats heading out to sea to avoid a
tsunami.
