If this is a preshock of an even larger quake the world is in trouble --- again!

USGA is now reporting

(edit) sorry, cant get link to work. USGA is reporting its a 5.3

They will play down the numbers, they lie on a regular basis.

Waiting to hear more.

Ummm....I guess we can go ahead and kiss the Earth goodbye. That is a crippler to an already REALLY bad situation. I don't see any way for them to recover from a quake this size at an already devastated site. And as mentioned before....if this is a precursor to a larger one.....I will miss talking to you all on ATS.

And I will just roll with this for now.

I was under the impression it hit south of Fukushima??

5.3
19km ESE of Ishikawa, Japan

I don't think we were ever out of trouble with fukushima.

I'm with you...The whole place could have already fallen in the ocean and they would just loop the video and tell you everythings ok.....Reminds me of Chief Clancy Wiggum off The Simpsons...

I haven't a clue why on Earth, Japan was chosen for the next Olympics. I hope to high hell, they have a plan B.

Momma Earth will take care of greedy lying Politicians. She'll shake them off their self made pedestals, and leave the rest of us to deal with eons of radiation perpetuated by those scum bags.

Will mankind ever learn.....

Right.. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew which epicenter it was.

As Rattrap so eloquently puts it; "We're all gonna die."

Since Tokyo has been selected for Olympics this will not amount to much. The gov and TEPCO assure you that the situation is well under control. All that radioactive waste is just fine wherever it is. No worries.

Even if the epicenter wasn't at Fukushima, I can still see this causing problems. I was in Tokyo when the Fukushima incident occurred, and there was still a lot of shaking and buildings swaying. If simply moving rods is supposed to be dangerous, I wouldn't imagine shaking them around is the best thing.

I'm not expecting anything major, but I think it's worth keeping an eye on for sure.

nothing yet on here www3.nhk.or.jp... but there are cracks in pipes www3.nhk.or.jp... from the link in part

Cracks found in vent pipe at Fukushima plant

The people in charge of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant say they've found cracks in a steel framework that supports an unused ventilation pipe. They relied on the pipe for a period of time to release dangerous vapors created by the 2011 accident.

Officials at Tokyo Electric Power Company say workers on Wednesday discovered the cracks and cuts at 8 places in the buttress about 66 meters above the ground.

the good news is , it is a vent pipe
