I love this earthquake map. In real time or when released

I hope there will be no loss of life.. as of now nothing reported and no tsunami threat..will wait and see as the area is moderately populated.

It appears there have been two of them in and around Japan
as well as Hawaii within the same time frame
click here and move your mouse over those areas, it will give details of the event.

Thanks for posting maps and info...It seems like that whole area is really unstable, those Japanese people must live in fear..constantly not knowing whats coming next...
