A magnitude 8.8 quake occurred in Chile. A tsunami warning has been issued. Very good details, and a map of the predicted height of the tsunami across all the pacific can be found at Phil Plait's blog.
Apparently, Japan is not concerned about the Tsunami, which should hit around 3 AM GMT (12AM Japanese time). The advisories from the Japanese meteo/quake agency has no information about any critical measures to be taken.
Yesterday, a weaker but still relevant quake hit the island of Okinawa, in the south of the Japanese Archipelago.
