Wow! That’s been a very active area over there lately. Very strong quakes too!
They’re just a rockin’ and a rollin’ down there lately.
The Pacific region has been quite active.
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck Japan early Thursday morning, the latest in a string of temblors to hit the island nation this month, reports said. The quake was centered off Hachijojima Island, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, but was felt across much of central Japan, including Tokyo. No damage or casualties were immediately reported.
I was thinking the same thing.
Thanks for the note.
