The end times are upon us.
Doesn't look too strong. Epicesnter near Chiba's Yokkaichi city.
Gee, that's a rare event. [/sarcasm]
Hope Godzilla doesn't wake up.
6.1
You okay?
5-6 on the Richter scale is a nuisance. 5-6 on the Japanese Shindo scale would mean major damage.
Nothing at the USGS list of most recent earthquakes, and they seem to have included ones past the time of your post.
I wonder what it was they felt in Tokyo.

It could be Bush's fault
Bush's fault! :)
The 8 and up quakes are newsworthy. Why is the press carrying stories about these little shakers that do not do justice to the moon phase hypothesis?

Magnitude 6.0 - NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
2005 April 10 22:22:15 UTC
Preliminary Earthquake Report
U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center
World Data Center for Seismology, Denver
A strong earthquake occurred at 22:22:15 (UTC) on Sunday, April 10, 2005. The magnitude 6.0 event has been located in NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN. The hypocentral depth was estimated to be 37 km (23 miles). (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.)
My mother, who has never been to Japan (nor lived in an earthquake prone region) arrived in Tokyo hours after this earthquake. She'd earlier expressed that she hopes to feel one while she's here.
