Another after shock?

California next.

That one off Honshu is almost certainly related. Tonga is more speculative.

Doubtful....whole nother’ ball game with this one.

Tsunami warning center raises magnitude of Japan quake to 9.1

When he came on for his press conference today I simply couldn’t bear to listen- I muted it and walked the dog.

As to the loss of life, there’s an excellent reporter for CNN who’s been making her way up north from Tokyo all night and morning. She said she’s been hearing figures of possible deaths that are so mind boggling that she won’t report them- couldn’t find them credible. Then- as she has gotten further north and has begun talking with more people with family and friends up there, she realizes the numbers may be true. She said they (people living in area) simply didn’t believe the water could ever come inland so far.

Remember, the tsunami came inland SIX MILES, with 10- 15 minutes warning at the most ..

Another after shock?

---

Normally a 6.8 would be big on it’s own, but with the 8.9 earlier today, 6.8 could be an after shock. IMHO

I guess for the folks suffering through these things, the difference between an earthquake and an after shock means little. :-(

...it does make one wonder. It's been real quiet here for a long time.

[americanophile]

It’s a good reminder.

I believe that it’s scheduled for May 21, 2011 which is on a Saturday, but see my tag line.

check out the past 7 days of activity, look at what is happening in the ring of fire

USA is only quadrant that hasn’t had a “big one” in the past 7 days. but we’ve sure had a lot of smaller ones

Here is a great little program that will give you a 3D real-time view of the planet and every earthquake in the last seven days.

It's free.

Ya beat me by two minutes and zero seconds! LOL

Wow, that’s pretty cool. Thanks. I feel like I should breath like Darth Vader watching this, hahaha.

Well, if you're short on coffee or 5-hour energy drink that will give you a cheap high. ;^)

"At least 124 quakes magnitude 5 or higher strike near Honshu, Japan coast since 8.9 quake hit area Friday -- USGS."

Sorry, no link. Appears as headline only on my news aggregator.

This is just the super full moon warm up for Armageddon...last evening I said to my husband that we should expect some major earthquakes over the next 20 days if there is any truth to this superfullmoon theory...this morning when I turned on the TV at breakfast I nearly fell out of my chair.

leap year every four years except every even century years, except every 400 years, got it?

...and on days that end in a "y". ;)
