On March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake shook northeastern Japan, unleashing a savage tsunami.

So the earthquake and tsunami that caused all that destruction a while back was a lot bigger.

Japan is fucked geologically speaking, they need to abandon that place and flee.

Apparently its been downgraded to a 6.9, which is a bit better at least!

[cubby]

CNN confirmed it. Is this one setting up to be at all different than the last one?

[dextersmith]

Remember how damaging the last disaster was to anime?

This quake isn't as powerful. Also;

All nuclear plants on the coast threatened by the tsunami are shut down in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. Only two reactors are operating in Japan, both in the south-west of the country. Even when in shutdown nuclear plants need cooling systems operating to keep spent fuel cool.

Considering the scale of the Richter scale, it's A LOT better. :P

The Tohoku Earthquake was ~150 times bigger than this one.

It is a known fact that every 5 years schools of weebs around the world gather around Japan for a ritual known as the "masturbation". The weeb paints an idol that resembles the men/women of local folklore, in cushy objects called pillows. Finally the ritual is sealed when the bodily fluids of the weeb engulfs the idol. In rare occasions the intensity of the ritual is so strong that is sends waves throughout the earth provoking earthquakes. My hypothesis is that this earthquake is a consequence of this ritual.

I thought 7.3 is the Argus patch
