Looks like Godzilla is on the move. Again. I hope that not many people were hurt in this.

7.0 is preliminary isn't it? Don't these things get revised up or down afterward?

Not good. If that's the epicenter the red square is over, it looks to be just north of Tokyo. That would be a very bad thing.
Prayers up.

As of this posting the BBC is reporting numerous injuries north of Tokyo caused by this major earthquake taking place some 20 kilometers beneath the ocean floor.
Tokyo & Yokohama are long overdue for the 'big one', equal or worse then the great Great Kanto Quake of 1923.
