April 7, 2011 at 11:32:41 p.m. another earthquake hit Japan's east coast, the islands of Honshu,Yamagata, and Sendai. Magnitude at 7.1, the earthquake caused many blackouts in various areas of Japan as well as tsunami warnings on the northeast coast. Some injuries were reported but no deaths have been confirmed. As for the Fukushima Daichii, no other damage has been inflicted on the reactors that did and didn't blow up. Even though the reactors didn't cause any excess damage to the power plant, officials had to evacuate authorized personnel immediately. To stop any possible explosions, Reactor No. 1 is being pumped with nitrogen to reduce the risk of hydrogen igniting.
