Tokyo (CNN) -- 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.
The epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from the capital, Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there felt the tremors.
The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. Waves of debris flowed like lava across farmland, pushing boats, houses and trailers toward highways.
Hawaii, Russia and Taiwan threatened by tsunami
It caused a power outage in about 4 million homes in Tokyo and surrounding areas.
A tsunami in the Pacific was moving closer to other shorelines in other countries, said CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera.
It triggered tsunami warnings for various countries, including Japan and Russia, the National Weather Service said.
"Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis potentially dangerous to coasts outside the source region," it said.
"Based on all available data a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter."
The quake was the latest in a series in the region this week.
Early Thursday, an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 struck off the coast of Honshu.
A day earlier, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck off of Honshu, the country's meteorological agency said.
The largest recorded quake took place in Chile on May 22, 1960, with a magnitude of 9.5, the USGS said.
CNN's Kyung Lah contributed to this report.

Tsunami juga melanda Kota Kamaichi yang berada di sebelah utara Jepang. Hampir seluruh kota tersebut hancur luluh lantah dan terendam air hingga 10 meter.
Demikian dilansir Reuters, Jumat (11/3/2011). Gambar di televisi menunjukkan air telah menghanyutkan kapal-kapal, mobil-mobil, dan truk-truk.
Sementara itu di Yokohama, kebakaran terjadi di mana-mana. Asap hitam terpantau di area Isogo, Yokohama.
Tsunami telah membuat kota-kota di Jepang luluh lantak. Api dengan ketinggian sekitar delapan kaki menerjang ruman-rumah, pabrik-pabrik, dan gedung-gedung di negara tersebut.
Menurut badan Survei Geologi AS atau USGS, gempa tersebut berkekuatan 8,9 SR dan melanda sekitar 400 kilometer dari Tokyo dengan kedalaman 20 mil.
Menurut saksi-saksi mata, saat gempa terjadi, kereta super cepat Shinkansen yang tengah melaju pun mendadak berhenti.
Beberapa hari terakhir ini Jepang beberapa kali diguncang gempa. Termasuk gempa berkekuatan 7,3 SR yang melanda Jepang pada Rabu, 9 Maret lalu.
Peringatan tsunami telah dikeluarkan dan berlaku bagi Indonesia pula. Tsunami hingga 1 meter diperkirakan terjadi di bagian timur Indonesia pada pukul 19.30 WIB.
