I currently am having a problem with dates and times... sorry.

The 7.2 earthquake that was reported April 13, 2011 at 10:07am at this website quake.twiple.jp... is being reported on the USGS website as a 5.4 magnitude Magnitude 5.4 NEAR EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 01:08:02 UTC neic.usgs.gov...

Twiple site is a Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) Announcements system

2011-04-13 01:08:02.0 36.91 N 140.49 E 33 mb 5.5 NEAR EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
This report from, www.emsc-csem.org...

Reported as a 5.4 here, hisz.rsoe.hu...

So the only place that is reporting the quake at 7.2 is at the Twiple site.

Just hit, a 6.1:

6.1 2011/04/13 19:57:24 39.587 143.357 11.2 OFF THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN

USGS

Well according to usgs, there was a 4.9 in about 45 min ago..

actually its been getting lit up for the past 24

Doesn't it say 7.2? Watching USGS.
Edit - I don't know if the site is legit or not, but I don't know about the time. I think it is around 1 pm on Wednesday there right now, so if that earthquake would have really hit at around 10 we would have heard about it.

edit on 12-4-2011 by tmar11 because: (no reason given)

scroll down some to see the larger ones
