  2. Magnitude 9.0 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPANFriday, March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC Japan was struck by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday March 11, 2011. This is one of the largest earthquakes that Japan has ever experienced. . In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and there is severe flooding due to a tsunami generated by the earthquake.

  8. Tohoku, Japan Earthquake: Finite Fault Model USGS V1 - 7 hrs after OT Compact rupture, mostly bilateral about epicenter, peak slip up dip of hypocenter. Rupture was likely restricted to the shallow trench, and GPS vectors suggest slip did not reach the plate boundary beneath the coastline. Peak slips closer to 40+ m, inferred from updated modeling. Box is 580 km long and 190 km wide Zone of main slip is 300 km long and ~150 wide
