Another earthquake in Japan

Just heard that Northeastern and Eastern Japan have been hit by an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the richter scale.  Another tsunami warning has been issued for the east coast of Japan.

They can't seem to catch a break!!

I saw this on the news, too.  So sad and tragic.  I just hope that the tsunami dies out and doesn't hit the coast.

Yup and there was a big one in Mexicos capital just before that as well.

Plus some idiot went on a shooting Rampage in Rio, killing at least 14 people. What the hell is wrong with people?????

I just finished reading about the shooting at the elementary school as well. Not sure why anyone would want to harm innocent children. As for Japan, hopefully no one was injured in the earthquake and that the tsunami warning is just that, a warning. I don't know how they can endure much more. We take so much for granted, I for one am guilty of this on a daily basis. My life is wonderful today and I'm glad to be here!

The tsunami warning has been cancelled.  My friends just got their power back a few minutes ago, so it was out 12-14hrs.  Other than the power outage, this seems to be a business as usual quake for northern Japan.  They get a lot of quakes that would make the news in other parts of the world but have relatively little effect locally.

On a sad note, they found the body of the Rikuzentakata english teacher yesterday.  Monty was a good guy; I had met him a few times.  I thought everybody had been accounted for so it was an unhappy surprise to hear about the find.
