Uh-oh.
didn’t they have one yesterday too?
Did you spill any coffee?
Slight sea-level changes may be observed in coastal regions, but no tsunami damage is expected.
That was kind of a hard to read map. How close was this to Tokyo? Looks like same region as yesterday’s quake, but hard to tell on the map at the website above.
According to USGS, this earthquake is 5 km east-northeast of Kumamoto at a depth of only 10 km. I’m afraid the damage to the city of Kumamoto is going to be substantial. :-( They’ll probably eventually suspend all Kyushu Shinkansen services south of Kurume.
Another one? Yikes!
They had a 6.4 the other day and it was part of a flurry that made them suspect a big one was coming.
I was in Hawaii two weeks ago and we had a 4.6.
I’m in CA with strange cold windy earthquake weather. This could be it, if part of us sinks into the ocean, remember I had said to by beach front property in Victorville.
Big ones all week rocking and rolling around the world.
By = buy!
We’ll miss ya!
would solve electoral college problem though.
but not worth the lives.
An update: USGS now reports it a Magnitude 7.0 0.62 miles west of the center of the city of Kumamoto. There’s going to be a lot of damage in that city if it’s really that close to town.... :-(
I think this is referring to the same one. NHK World News only references Thursday's quake.
when so much of a city’s expansion has been built on landfill, I can’t imagine quakes being a good thing no matter how small or large.
Would someone please cash my lottery tickets if they float by and donate them to the nearest chapter of the optimist club. Thank you and goodbye!
lol!!!

I was actually concerned I had posted about the previous quake by mistake.
