Big Shake in Japan

[efc]

Just received a News Alert stating that there was a 7.2 Earthquake in Japan a short time ago. Early reports said 80 injured in the collapse of an indoor swimming complex.

BB, have you got any information?

That was the Tokyo side of Japan. http://tenki.jp/qua/quake_0.html I didn't feel a thing.

MSNBC reported:

TOKYO - A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 struck off the northeast coast of Japan on Tuesday, triggering a small tsunami, collapsing buildings, knocking out power and shaking skyscrapers nearly 200 miles away in Tokyo.

A caved-in roof at an indoor pool in the coastal city of Sendai injured 14 people, national broadcaster NHK reported. Two more people were injured in the neighboring state of Iwate, Kyodo News Agency reported.

Television footage showed a collapsed house outside Tokyo and landslides in the quake zone.
