6.9 is pretty scary!

My best to the people of Tokyo.

Update: Reuters now saying no further damage to the nuclear plant. Also just announced no Tsunami threat yet.

Update 2: Reuters still says Tokyo but it looks like it was off shore in the ocean. See posts below for maps.

8. I'm closer to Osaka, thanks.

No problems here with Tokyo earthquakes.

I am currently worried about the typhoon hanging around because in 2 days I am taking my first trip back to America in nearly 4 years.

13. A 6.9 would actually be a baby for Japan BUT!

With the situation as it is at Fukushima I'm very concerned.

14. Yeah seriously!!

I don't want to hear about anything so much as going bump in the night over there until those reactors, pools & rods are far, far away or secured.
