0:55Now PlayingJapan issued tsunami alerts and evacuation orders on Monday following a series of earthquakes that started a fire and left some residents trapped under rubble.
More than a dozen quakes were reported off the coast of Ishikawa shortly after 4 p.m., the largest of which was measured at 7.5. magnitude, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, which issued a major tsunami warning for Ishikawa and lower-level warnings or advisories for the rest of the western coast on the island of Honshu.
The tremors first caused four foot tall waves to strike coastal cities, where residents were urged to immediately get to high ground ahead of expected waves of up to 17 feet tall, according to the broadcaster NHK TV.

The area under tsunami threat includes a nuclear plant.
