meteorological agency engineers installed the two sensors in october. they placed them on the seabed near the japan trench more than 300 kilometers off tohoku's pacific coast. agency analysts use the sensors to monitor crucial changes in hydraulic pressure. they receive the data through a satellite communication system installed on floatation devices. until now, they always had to place sensors close to the shore to receive data by cable. agency personnel say they can now detect a tsunami ten to 20 minutes earlier if a quake occurs near the japan trench. forecasters have already been using conventional tsunami detectors at 35 offshore locations around japan. >>> thousands of people waiting to go home. tons of debris waiting for disposal. vast tracks of land waiting to be restored. over coming the challenges of japan's 2011 disaster won't be easy. but step by step people are moving forward. find out how on "the road ahead" every wednesday at 1:00 p.m. right here on juice nine. >>> the u.s. government will sell four high performance drones to south korea.

officials with the meteorological agency say the tremor was most likely an aftershock from the march011 earthquake. the estimated 7.3 magnitude tremor jolted the country at 5:18 p.m. local time, triggering tsunami. it struck off the sanriku coast in the tohoku region. this is the same part of japan that was hit by last year's disaster. immediately after friday's quake, authorities issued a tsunami warning and advisories for areas along the northeast coast. they say a wave of one meter came racing ashore in the prefecture of miyagi, hitting the port of -- port city of ishinomaki. so far there are no reports of major injuries or damage. authorities lifted their warning and advisories two hours after the quake hit. this tremor struck in early evening as people were heading home from work or getting ready to sit down for dinner. people in tokyo also felt it. buildings in the japanese capital swayed for a couple of minutes. >>> we'll be back with more news in 30 minutes. i'm gene otani in tokyo.

the meteorological agency here has forecast waves about three feet high to hit the miyagi prefecture. we've not gotten any reports of a tsunami. but all of those cities along the coast have been told to evacuate, just as a precaution. you can imagine, they're taking that warning very seriously after that whey experienced last year. >> i was going to say, any immediate dangers reported right now, though? >> reporter: we are not hearing of any immediate reports of damages or injuries. i got off the phone with tepco that operates the fukushima nuclear plant. they have no reports. they had about 3,000 people working there at the time. or they have about 3,000 people working there on a daily basis. they have all been evacuated, told to stay indoors. but no reports of damages there, as well as other cities. but, of course, it was just 45 minutes ago. we're still monitoring right now. >> okay. that's akiko fujita on the phone. an earthquake, along the northeast coast. tsunami warnings. we'll keep an eye on that and bring you the latest. you can tell the jolt from that camera, how it's swayin

meteorologically, a white christmas means there's an inch of snow on the ground christmas morning. doesn't have to be falling. just has to be there. look at this. who is going to see a white christmas? so many of us. certainly a lot better than last year if you want a white christmas. last year, western new york had brown ground. this year, that is not the case. so, from upstate new york all the way down the spine of appalachians, chicago, the twin cities, denver. you can see all the mountains. if you are skiing, you are certainly in great luck. and really so much of the northern tier of the country, even diving down here into the southwest. white christmas is on tap for you. let me show you weatherwise what will happen. maybe you're traveling or you want to see what will move through the country weatherwise. there is a storm developing. if you're in san francisco, it has been a deluge of rain. as we toward tomorrow, watch san francisco once again get hit with rain. you can see that move through. it does move out by monday. monday, the west coast is dry. here's what we're really wa

when you think of meteorology, you think of the difficulty of classifying a hurricane and tracking a hurricane, making judgments about such complex behavior that has sort of chaotic premises underlying it, you're going to make lots of mistakes. you're going to make lots of mistakes in both directions. sometimes you're going to make a mistake when you think the storm is going to hit and it doesn't and sometimes you're going to make mistakes where you think the storm is not going to hit and it does. and i think one of the great challenges, quite frankly, for the legal system, is understanding statistics well enough to make that judgment about where you draw that line that anita was referring to about where do you want to avoid the errors. you want to avoid the errors, a category five hurricane is going to hit miami but there is only a 40% likelihood that that hurricane is going to hit miami, do you evacuate the city? well, if you evacuate the city and it doesn't hit, you spent tons of money and possibly hurt lots of people in doing that. if you don't evacuate the city and the storm hit

meteorologically, a white christmas means that there's at least an inch of snow on the ground christmas morning. don't have to fall in the afternoon. it just means an inch on the ground already. and here's a look at where we'll see it now. we have not seen kind of the widespread nature of this amount of snow christmas morning. last winter, remember last christmas, it was a paltry -- it was paltry in terms of snow. look, if you're skiing in the green and white mountains of vermont, all the way western new york, holiday valley, a banner -- how about two feet of snow there. you can see the white christmas extends all the way to west virginia and minneapolis, chicago, denver, and so a lot of the cold portion of the country will see a white christmas. what about after christmas? maybe you're traveling on vacation, traveling back to work. just watching an interesting computer model. it's been a deluge, awful travel in san francisco the last couple of days. for tomorrow, watch california, here comes a next system. so another day in san francisco and seattle with rain. by monday, the west coast

there was a day in january 1943 and went and dug out the meteorological record. there was a day with a high temperature was 13 below zero, the high for that day. now bill mann though was a hobby photographer and he used not a professional, not a documentarian. he is the camera for the most part the way you and i use cameras. he tried to capture things that struck him as beautiful or interesting. so here you scatterbrained though. obviously in good lighting you'd see at other latrine building were all rainbows and of course. [laughter] a pot of gold, or a pot anyway. thank you very much. well, remember i told you she was a man with a camera. why did he have a camera? the reason was the war relocation authority, which unlike the military was staffed by people who in the context of their time were progressive. they figured out the cameras would be a good thing to have. it would be an affirmatively good to for japanese americans have at the coastal strip to be allowed to reclaim their cameras they had surrendered as contraband. because why? because it is a way of fee

meteorologically, a white christmas is having an inch of snow on the ground christmas morning.we're certainly going to see that. where will we see the snow or rain falling christmas? here's the forecast for the northeast tuesday. believe it or not, new york and boston with temperatures in the 30s may see some snow showers. but on the whole in the northeast, we'll see dry, partly sunny conditions. in the southeast, it looks more rain than snow, some rain in new orleans and nashville and atlanta. temperatures just a teeny bit below average. but around the balance of the country, very cold temperatures. 5 in fargo, dry skies. minneapolis, as well. rain, seattle to portland, down to medford. and believe it or not, even san francisco, finally sees a dry day tuesday. but then more rain comes in. why? what we're looking at is this area of low pressure. you're going to see, this is sunday. so for tomorrow, wet weather comes down to san francisco once again. and then on monday, into tuesday, an area of low pressure develops here in the southeast. so rain and christmas in the southeast.

that's a meteorological term.sure drops very rapidly intensifying the snowfall rates meaning 1 to 2 inches per hour tonight. right now in new york city, you're getting snow. but take a look at the winter storm warnings. they've been expanded further to the west. they're now encompassing parts of upstate new york and northern pennsylvania. and then as we look kind of zoom into the region, you'll see boston 4 to 8 inches, maybe nine in some areas. and this is new information. we're anticipating an area interior sections of new england region, particularly into northern sections, northeastern connecticut and into southeastern massachusetts where we could see and most of northern rhode island up to a foot of snow. so we're raising those snowfall rates a little bit as we go through the day and then you can also see heavy snow is anticipated into maine particularly later tonight into early on sunday. so here's the low, and as i mentioned, loo look how close it is to martha's vineyard in nantucket. because of that proxim
