More earthquakes, more nuclear power plant damage rock Japan

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 struck off the east coast of Honshu, Japan on Tuesday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

It was the third strong earthquake to hit within the last two and a half hours near the epicenter of a 9.0 earthquake that rocked Japan on March 11, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The other two quakes had preliminary magnitudes of 6.6 and 6.4, making them among the strongest of several quakes that have shaken that part of Japan since the 9.0 quake.
