The Tohoku Earthquake set off a very large tsunami referred to as the Tohoku Tsunami. The earthquake was the most powerful measured in Japan. The tsunami had very high waves, but was not a record breaker. Unfortunately, the power plant at Fukushima Daiichi was not designed to withstand waves more than about a third of the size of the one that hit it, and had much of its emergency equipment in the basement, where it was not protected from flooding.
