ust minutes ago a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off Japan in the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.
Here are the technical details so far. No word yet regarding a possible tsunami. Update at 3:50 p.m. ET: The epicenter is the Ryukyu Islands, about 50 miles off Naha, in Okinawa. The quake was 6.2 miles deep, relatively shallow. No reports yet of damage or injuries. Update at 3:54 p.m. ET: The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says "no destructive widespread tsunami threat exists based on historical earthquake and tsunami data." However, "earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within 100 kilometers of the earthquake epicenter." Update at 3:57 p.m. ET: The USGS has lowered the magnitude to 7.0, equal to the quake that struck Haiti. The depth has also changed -- 13.7 miles, more than double the preliminary estimate. http://content.usatoday.com/communit...ts-off-japan/1 Love |

"Most of the 1.3 million people in the Ryukyu Islands live on the main island (Okinawa island) and rely on the U.S. military, the Japanese government and tourism for money. They are among the poorest people in Japan. Even so they live the longest and are regarded by many as the happiest. " Website: Wikipedia
http://factsanddetails.com/japan.php...5&subcatid=172 all these recent earthquakes seem to be in poor areas. ![]() "Tanegashima (southeast of Kagoshima) is a low-lying agricultural island with 26,000 people. It is rarely visited by tourists. It is home of the Tanegahsima Island Space Center, where Japan launches its rockets and satellites. Website: Tanegashima Space Center JAXA" "Yaeyama Islands (between the Miyako Islands and Taiwan) are famous for black pearls, star-shaped sand and the Iriomote wildcat."
