TOKYO (AP) - A ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes on record slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing hundreds of people as it swept away ships, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control.

Hours later, the tsunami hit Hawaii but did not cause major damage. Warnings blanketed the Pacific, putting areas on alert as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West coast. In northeastern Japan, the area around a nuclear power plant was evacuated after the reactor's cooling system failed.

Police said 200 to 300 bodies were found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendai, the city in Miyagi prefecture, or state, closest to the epicenter. Another 110 were confirmed killed, with 350 people missing. Police also said 544 people were injured.

The magnitude-8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (seven-meter) tsunami and was followed for hours by more than 50 aftershocks, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0.

Dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the epicenter. A large section of Kesennuma, a town of 70,000 people in Miyagi, burned furiously into the night with no apparent hope of being extinguished, public broadcaster NHK said.

"The earthquake has caused major damage in broad areas in northern Japan," Prime Minister Naoto Kan said at a news conference.

The government ordered thousands of residents near a nuclear power plant in the city of Onahama to move back at least two miles (three kilometers) from the plant. The reactor was not leaking radiation but its core remained hot even after a shutdown. The plant is 170 miles (270 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo.

Trouble was reported at two other nuclear plants as well, but there was no radiation leak at either of them.

@amauck Hahaha. It is really helpful to pray to an imaginary old man up in the sky and to his zombie son especially that the main religions in Japan are Buddhism and Shinto.

How about you send them money, because that will actually help them.

@amauck A prayer is not worthless, it's positive energy. /watch?v=JEgaaAA7Moo&feature=c­hannelvideotitle the observer directly influences the observed, quantum physics talks about this. that once one starts to observe, the results are altered, and become different than if no one actually observed, such as in scientific experiments. So to say a prayer is worthless is an observation by me of your own ignorance.

[amauck]

@TruthSeekingElf - certainly we can send them something HELPFUL like supplies or aid or rescue or food or medicine or medical care or SOMETHING that will do even a smidgen of good instead of something completely worthless like prayer!

[TruthSeekingElf]

Horrendous. We can only send them our prayers. Was it H.A.A.R.P.? God help them all.
