"TOKYO has a 90 per cent chance of being devastated by a major earthquake inside the next 50 years."

it goes on to say that the probability of a major quake of around 8 on the richter scale is very high for the next few moths.

basically what theyre saying is that before kobe the temperature was at record highs, and they are around the same temps now.

ofcourse the japanese government is poo-pooing the idea saying the possabilities are 0-0.8%.

From the same article.
"This year's warnings are being given more credence than past ones because of an unusually hot summer, several typhoons and frequent thunderstorms. "

well the Japanese are experts where it comes to earthquakes so maybe you shouldn't get too worried but ythen again, you never know....

If this did happen, would this cause a mass tidal wave to west coast of America?
