150 miles off tokyo,

no word of tsunami so far,


fingers Crossed,

The japan President is stating that he does not believe this quake is anything to do with North Korea, and that this is natural,


does kinda make you wonder, ?

Kobe in '95 was bad. Much of Honshu has very, very stringent building codes relating to quake. If anyone can handle it it's the Japanese. A national natural disaster in Japan would be very bad... especially these days.
