Huge earthquake hits Japan again (07/12/2012)

For those that are interestend, NHK is broadcasting the alert live. I think they broadcast to lots of countries outside Japan (cable).

Those poor people. They just can't catch a break..My prayers go out to them again..Mother Nature sure can be cruel..peace,sugarcookie1

and now a 6.2........I hope the 7.2 is the worst of it....positive thoughts

usgs has another quake posted for a 6.2 for off the Eastern coast of Honshu. A 7.3 and now another already. I do wonder how the nuke plants are doing relevant to all of this. Those poor folks.

Those poor people! My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Is it too early to tell of damages on land? How long until the tsunami makes landfall?

Japanese news outlets are apparently saying its 7.4 and another one did just hit...

i hope all our fellow japanease ats'ers are safe and sound. depts of only 40 seems shallow and i wouldnt doubt if there is tsunami coming. move inland now if you can.

In Japan an 7.5 earthquake so far from the coast will cause no damage. Tsunami excluded.

Yokohama is okay. My friends from Tokyo are posting vids on Facebook, so I think they are fine too.

great to hear no harm done as of right now.

I just hope it didn't really bother fukushima and that the tsunami won't be bad.

1m wave just hit Ishinomaki, but nothing big.

Im really worried about that fukoshima nuclear powerplant. Any info yet on its status.

No problems there. Actually the plants are pretty safe. Only a very big tsunami can reach them.

i might effectively be an atheist, but my prayers are going out to the people of japan. time to move them i think.

On my newsfeed, even some people who never believed in something happening on the 21st are kind of scared.

Not saying that this is linked to it but I guess if you think about 2 weeks from then you just can't help but wonder.

Mostly a coincidence though.

One doesnt HAVE to be religiuos to
be empathic or show the same.

The National Bouy Center of NOAA is showing lots of action on their map. Those ocean bouys are really rockin from Japan area and a good distance up above in the ocean also. Not sure what, if anything that all may signify. Hoping for safety for all concerned in any of the affected areas!
