Footage shows the moment an earthquake hit the town of Suzu, on the coastline of central Japan's Ishikawa prefecture. The tsunami threat from the powerful earthquake has "largely passed", a US agency said, after waves over a meter high had earlier hit some areas. "The tsunami threat has now largely passed," the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
