Do you have the earthquake app for you iPad2 like my daughter showed me when we had breakfast at Gills by the Bay this morning which is 5 feet above high tide and is 706’ south of the decommissioned Humboldt Bay Nuclear power plant and did I ever tell you about the time this region a three 6.7 to 7.1 earthquakes in less than 24 hours but you did know it was several years after my terrifying 7.2 Tehachapi shaker of 1952?
Oh no, there goes Tokyo.
My pleasure.
LOL!
I really wonder how much more this poor country can possibly take.
Recent Earthquakes - Last 8-30 Days
You will see "Honshu, Japan" quite a bit with 4+, 5+, and 6+ magnitude earthquakes.
This is just another 6+ earthquake OFFSHORE OF JAPAN IN THE OCEAN
Now if these earthquakes were hitting Sendai, Tokoyo, Akita, or other places onshore, these quakes (aftershocks) might be rougher on the Japanese people and would be causing damage.
As it is, these "aftershocks" may be disrupting cleanup and other efforts after the 9.0.
Remember that this 6.1 is about 1000 times SMALLER than the 9.0. It is also an offshore quake...
Our nom for tonight is...
Here is a mind boggling almost 6 minute video of one town being flooded and washed away in Japan. The town was very near the epicenter of the quake.

Looks like they have been pretty much shaking every day.
This latest one we definitely felt (this a.m. our time).
But the noticeable frequency of them (aftershocks) fortunately has significantly declined from two weeks ago considerably. Thank goodness.
I’ll have you know I am half laughing and half p*ssed off! ;-)
A lot.
An incredible amount.
They may yet freak out if things exponentially mulitiply at this point (which is all in the hand of God), but I do know that most major US cities, particularly inner cities, by this time, two weeks later after a 9.0 shake/blackouts/shortages/nuke scare, would probably be seeing looting, rapes, arson, assaults, carjackings, what-the-heck random shootings and murders, and probably martial law and tanks in the streets to crack down on all of it. I take no pleasure in saying that, but most Americans I know, even those in the military here, feel that way in a comparative sense. The Japanese have been by and large extremely law abiding, community spirited, orderly, forward-looking, non-complaining, cooperative and collected. For now.
LOL! That’s awesome! :)
Yes...one of the 150 quakes of 6+ magnitude in the world each year.
Well, let's hope the New Madrid fault continues to hold for you. Even in the middle of TN, when that thing gives I think you're gonna know it. ;-)
We are well over 200 miles from the New Madrid fault. We won’t feel much even if a really big one goes down.
Yes, but the area has been ringing like a bell for weeks, with EQ's largely in the 5-6 magnitude.
One thing I also noticed, one complete side of our planet was void of Earthqakes, while the other side was ringing all around the ocean.
This little program gives one the best way to see Earthquakes worldwide, all at the same time, and see ‘patterns’.
Don’t know if you have it, but if you don’t, you really should try it. It is awesome!

Download the program (takes 2 seconds) and then run it.
IT’S FREE, and you can see EQ activity in 3D. Zoom in/out, with a panel of controls, easy to use.
They continue to go through a lot of hell that is for sure. The Utube account was closed down. Video no longer available.
But I am sure most have seen so many videos at this point they mostly look the same.
Also, Japan is ready for a 6.5 earthquake. Any structure that survived the 9.0 will likely not be damaged by the 6.5.
