It's not on the USGS map yet. Hopefully it's not a pre-quake. Japan has been through enough and I'm right down wind from that Jet Stream. I don't want any more radiation either.

Thanks for sharing by the way.

They're saying 5.9 on USGS

Well, it just popped up on the USGS site, showing a 5.9, which is still pretty big. They've had enough grief for this generation, I hope things settle down there soon!

Thanks



I clicked on the red square on the map so I figured it was from within the hour. I should have checked the date, thanks again for pointing it out.

Looks like nothing to worry about as there is no tsunami warning. As stated though, hopefully not a precursor to something bigger.
