The tsunami threat has now passed. FYI
This thread needs some appropriate music.
A Japanese band that appears to be having a lot of fun.

Thanks
Wow ! We lived through 2 biggies here in Kumamoto , Japan within 28 hours : a 6.2 followed by a 7 at same depth as the one in the article 10km . Thought it was the end of the world . We’d moved into our newly built house just 2 weeks earlier !
Surf Coasters - thank you for that, they sound really great!
Not a very deep quake.
Must have rattled the area pretty good!
There’s been quake activity off the coast of southern Oregon too…..no where near a 7.9, but the critters were acting crazy. The ring of fire is waking up for something. The underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon isn’t blowing off the pressure either.

Did the earthquake respond?...........

Will they get serious for one that becomes “Wipe Out”?
I should use that (”Tsunami Struck”) tune’s audio to stump musician friends here in the US: “Do you know who this is?”
“The ring of fire is waking up for something.”
California cheating in the elections, no doubt............
Wifey reported this one to me earlier. 8.2 is a serious quake.
I did that recently with a Journey song. A bunch of boomers who were completely oblivious to their early material.
The song in question:

Then you tell them it’s Journey and they flip out a bit.
Downgraded to 7.8, but, still a big one, with the aftershocks to be expected.

Yes, the cheat alarms are shaking the earth!
5.7 a couple days ago, offshore from OR/CA border.
I heard that Greece got hit with two earthquakes. Things are really shaking.
