In Japan, thousands were instructed to evacuate from Fukushima Monday, after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake triggered fears of a tsunami hitting the area and the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The tsunami advisory was lifted early this morning, and officials say the power plant was not damaged by the quake. In 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the same area, killing 20,000 people and causing the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
