Japan Quake: CNN Deployment & Coverage Details

An 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan on Friday, triggering tsunamis and sending a massive body of water filled with debris that included boats and houses inching toward highways. A tsunami in the Pacific was moving closer to other shorelines in other countries like Hawaii and Guam, said CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera.
CNN's Tokyo-based correspondent Kyung Lah (@KyungLahCNN) has been covering this story since it broke in the 1aET hour. CNN's Seoul-based correspondent Paula Hancocks (@phancocksCNN) has also joined Lah in Japan. Both teams are currently en route to Sendai, Japan, which is located near the quake's epicenter.

• CNN's Atlanta-based correspondent Martin Savidge
• CNN en Español's Fernando del Rincon
• CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O'Brien
• CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta
