9. It only takes one near Fukashima to make the disaster worse

I've been in a 5.5 before and it scared the crap out of me. Of course I've only been in significant earthquakes two times. Once in California around Walnut Creek and the other one in Portland in 93' (that one was the one I walked out of my dorm room and yelled at the students who were screaming and running down the stairs that "it's just an earthquake". Funny enough most of them turned out to be Japanese students).
