Whoa!!! Are you effing kidding me!??! Over a min long! Loma Prieta was a 7.1? And less than 20 seconds... This was WAY bigger and a min long!(If you think it's a small difference then you should go look up the seismograph scale)

If you can, tune into Channel 2 News. They said they have new info and a video and were going to show it but it went to a commercial.

Crazy $hit.

They're claiming the reactors haven't been damaged any further. Although they're saying since it was already damaged so severely the first time, there's not much more damage that could be caused.

I literally just got back from Tokyo yesterday. The whole time we were there it was as if nothing had really happened. We had one small quake on Saturday, but nothing worth noting.

Yeah, they were talking about seismic activity affecting Mt. Fuji, which is, in case anyone forgot, a volcano.

Records of eruption

16 eruptions of New Fuji have been recorded since 781. Many of the eruptions occurred in the Heian era, with 12 eruptions between 800 and 1083. Sometimes inactive periods between eruptions lasted for hundreds of years, as in the period between 1083 and 1511, when no eruptions were recorded for over 400 years. At present, there have been no eruptions since the Hoei eruption in 1707-1708, around 300 years ago.

From vulcanonews.com
A large earthquake (mag 6.2) occurred under Mt Fuji Volcano, Japan on 15th March at 10:31 pm, local time.

seems as though Fuji is due... but interestingly enough, no aftershocks reported since. maybe the magma filled the cracks like glue.

anyone seen this?
fleets of UFO's seen just prior to quake/tsunami. reported a bunch of times too... indonesia also a few weeks ago, had an eruption, and also had their first noted crop circle days prior...
