Seems to be on going.  Today’s Top Japan and World News | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News.

Currently the inspection of the Shika Nuclear Power Plant has begun.  Shika nuclear power plant being checked after quake | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News

Hopefully things turn out better than the Fukushima event. Hokuriku Power stated that the reactors are currently offline, so this shouldn't be a disaster, though to be fair if the plant can't come back online, then emergency services will have to deal with that as well.

Quick addition:
Here's a link to a Japanese site for current Tsunami information (the site is in Japanese though, but it is understandable still)

Recently, I watched an interview of Oliver Stone by Bill Maher discussing Stone's latest film on atomic energy. In the interview, Stone argued that nuclear energy is entirely secure, dismissing incidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl as exaggerated. From what I've read, solar panels in desert areas could provide sufficient energy for the entire planet. Why fuck around?

I lived in Kanagawa Prefecture from 1983-1986.  We had tons of earthquakes while I lived there.  The whole country was rocking.  Everyone expected Mt. Fuji to erupt and for Japan to slide into the ocean - like is predicted for California.  It didn't happen.  But the earthquakes continue ...

Yeah, I meant to follow up was following along late and fell asleep, sounds like they had another quake thankfully the initial tsunami wasn't as deep as the warning levels. Still a very serious on the ground, and there was supposed fairly widespread damage from the shaking.

Thinking about MIM, I know he lives in Japan

About 1,000 residents and others evacuated to an Air Self-Defense Force base in Wajima, and the Self-Defense Forces are responding by distributing blankets, water and food, the Defense Ministry said.
Ishikawa Gov. Hiroshi Hase asked the SDF to send members on a disaster relief mission, according to the central government.
Tsunamis were also observed in Toyama and Niigata prefectures, the meteorological agency said.
No abnormalities were reported at nuclear plants in the country after the earthquake, said the Japanese government, which set up an emergency response office at the prime minister's office in Tokyo.
