Don't forget the North Koreans.
It's the middle of the night there.
Suga said there are no abnormalities at nearby nuclear facilities. The epicenter was 120 kilometers (74 miles) northeast of Kyushu Electric Power Co.’s Sendai nuclear plant, the only one operating in the country.
Most of Japan’s nuclear reactors remain offline following the meltdowns at the Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima plant in 2011 after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a huge tsunami.
No kidding. The Norks are up to something reallllly rotten these days
It’s the Global Warming AND the fracking!!! /Joy Behar
Not to sure that Mt. Aso can be ruled out with these quakes.
Glad your safe, how does it look.
I just hear on Al Jazeera they moving missile around
Really far away —I am totally fine, thanks.
I did feel The Great Hanshin Earthquake though..!
That one was SUPER scary.
Believe it or not the rescue reaction of the YAKUZA on that one was way more prompt than that of Da Gummint..!
Of course the big question is whether this was a nasty foreshock, and can a bigger one like Fukushima be coming.
Wowww that look like 1994 Northridge CA quake Caww
Seriously WHOAAA
Yes...did some damage that’s for sure!
There is an article over on Drudge concerning that possibility due to 4 large quakes in 48 hours. Scientists used the word catastrophic earthquake fear.
Thanks glee’.
