Japan has issued a tsunami warning in northeast Japan after an earthquake measuring 7.0 in magnitude struck off the coast of the main island of Honshu.
There are no initial reports of damage from the quake.
The epicentre was off the coast of Fukushima prefecture, the same area as a June 14 quake which killed at least 10 and left as many again missing.
Alerts are in place for Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures.

Was there an error in the magnitude of the quake?
Was the quake in the wrong place to generate a tsunami?
Cheers!
FYI
Good to know, thanks.

Two 5.+ off the Oregon coast yesterday
Thank you for this thread, Velveeta.
Tsunami cancelled - good news.
(of course, need I tell you full moon?)
Would you add my name to the list please?
I’d like to try it out!
Thank you!
:-)
That’s still one Fukushima big earthquake!
THANKS Velveeta.
AIT . . . did you feel it?
Quite a ways away, looks to me like.
Safety to you each there.
Still looking for and expecting the one to take place off of China’s coast. At present a typhoon is forcaast for Shanghai (tonight or morning).
In Taiwan—in Taipei—we loved TYPHOON DAYS—days off sequestered with friends in a secure concrete highrise . . . stocked well with food and games . . .
In China—it’s a different matter, imho. A lot more damage likely.
I pray you and loved ones are safe.
I pray the fellow who has been 100% correct in 12 earlier predictions in his life will be wrong abou the China quake.
I suspect he won’t be wrong.
The only time stamp, remember, is that it was ‘seen’ to occur before the Olympics.
And, this Japanese one reminds me of the prediction that Japan will experience a huge quake not long before San Francisco does.
God have mercy on all who Love Him and all who seek Him and all who have a heart to seek Him.
LUB.
BTW, folks who have been derisive may want to check out the Larry King UFO videos of his show linked on this thread at post #48:

There has been a sea change in what the global leaders are putting out to the public on the topic.
They are obviously preparing for big changes.
That was cool the way you posted your No tsunam graphic.
Check it out bd, what South40 posted.
Is Lijah bubbe (what is the spelling darnit) still on your ping?
She/he is my full moon earthquake ping buddy.
And my gut feeling says more to come around ten to 1 am this morning.
My gut sometimes just has heartburn though.
LOL There you are.
I was just asking bd about you.
I feel (even though you may not) that you and I are kindered spirits on the full moon earth a rockin’ mode.
LOL That is how my Jeff Foxworthy english says it too.
Anyone out there who can give me the pronounceeation of Fukushimo.
Well now we know I just had intestinal bloating.
Fookoosheemah ;p
Pay no attention to the fact that this happened during the full moon.
or a new moon as well. BINGO !
Typhoon meets full moon. Hope it hits at low tide!
LOL. How's it going? I don't think that lunar influences on earthquakes are well, looney at all!
Sometimes I post "full moon" just to annoy people though. Shhh, don't tell anyone. ;)
OH MAN I hope Godzilla is okay
