i saw that too.

wow!

Does anyone have a link or screenshot to share?

I would be interested in seeing this.

As soon as it went quiet over there i had a feeling something would give, wasnt expecting a 7.4 though, or several for that matter.

USGS are only reporting two.......so which is it two or three?

well if this is HAARP then it works well and we should be using it on our enemies, not Japan. Tehran is prone to earthquakes as I recall. Lets take out Iran and their nuclear program.

oh wait, it's not HAARP, just the way the world turns.....

I can't figure out how to reverse extrapolate the time that it was over the epicenter. Interesting that it happened, though.

it was there, I took a screen dump but will have to figure out how to upload it

Huh? Mind clarifying that? I wasn't aware Russia had any Space Shuttles in orbit......

NHK World is reporting it as 4 separate and terrible quakes.

The Meteorological Agency says the initial quake struck at 2:46 PM Friday local time, off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture. The quake's estimated magnitude has been revised upward to 8.4.

...

At 3:06 PM, a 2nd quake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck almost the same area.

This was followed by a magnitude 7.4 quake at 3:15 PM.
That quake originated off the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture, south of the first 2 quakes.

The 4th quake measured a magnitude of 7.2 and struck off Miyagi at 3:26 PM.

A series of tsunami are presently washing ashore. NHK cameras show many cars and houses being swept away in Miyagi and neighboring prefectures. Fires can also be seen in many areas along the Pacific coast.

Look at the bottom of the article... this was for March 11, not today's events

Sorry, its not a shuttle -

The Soyuz TMA-21—which has been nicknamed "Gagarin" to honor the cosmonaut's historic flight of April 12, 1961—launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in Central Asia at 6:18 p.m. EDT today (April 4; 4:18 a.m. April 5 local time). The spacecraft lifted off from the same launch pad used for Gagarin's historic flight nearly 50 years ago. The "Gagarin" is carrying two cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut. They'll reach the station on Wednesday evening (April 6 EDT), joining three spaceflyers already aboard the orbiting lab. The "Gagarin" Soyuz was originally set to launch March 29, but a glitch with its radio communications system pushed the flight back to April 4. The launch today appeared to go off without a hitch. The spacecraft's three crewmembers will round out the current Expedition 27 crew aboard the space station, and they'll stay on beyond that mission as part of Expedition 28. NASA astronaut Ron Garan and cosmonaut Alexander Samokutyaev will be flight engineers on both expeditions. Cosmonaut Andrey Borisenko will serve as a flight engineer on Expedition 27, then transition to the role of Expedition 28 commander. All three spaceflyers—and the "Gagarin"—will stay at the space station until September, when they'll come back down to Earth. They'll therefore be aboard the orbiting lab for the last two flights of NASA's space shuttle program, which are set to launch toward the station this April and June.

I have just seen that on Sky News as well - wierd!

NISA: Onagawa nuke plant in Miyagi-ken loses 2 of 3 external power grids after M7.4 quake.

Trouble in a different nuclear reactor?????

I am well familiar with Soyuz- you could have just said you meant the Soyuz- I didn't really need the history lesson.

Looks like this has been scaled down to 1 quake at M7.1

Yeah I saw that on the live feed from NHK as well. I was like WHAT THE HECK?!?

That was footage from Sendai I think

That was a massive transformer blowing out.. seen that many times before.

The Quake was a single event, and is now a 7.1m

Wasn't trying to give one

Re the light just found this:-

Check the date. That's from March 11.

Oops, sorry about that. I didn't see the date. I'm glad it isn't as bad as last time, or at least not as many as I was thinking after having read that from NHK.

Cheers,
Cody

Nice, thx for the image!

Pretty bright explosion, does just look like a transformer and nothing major(hopefully)
