That's a lot yes, but unfortunately it is par for the course after a large earthquake, like that 7.4. The area is likely to experience aftershocks for many days and months to come. Please take a look at any other large earthquake, like the ones in Haiti, Chile, and China in recent years, and you will see that this is normal.

Its no where near Tokyo, it was in the Bonin Islands south of Japan.

The Tokyo they refer to is the Prefecture (Province for the Brits and State for the Yanks)

There were no immediate reports of damage or injury but a tsunami of 30 centimetres (one foot) hit the Ogasawara island chain, according to Japanese television broadcasts.

When it comes to earthquakes you should check with the Quake Watch 2010 thread first, the regulars here don't usually bother with making a new thread for every quake.

This is the 27th Mag 7+ this year

BTW RSOE is generally regarded as unreliable, its run by a bunch of ham radio amateurs, its not a Govt or State sponsered organisation.
