"Strong quake rocks northeast Japan"
TOKYO (AP) — A strong earthquake has rocked northeastern Japan, which is still recovering from the devastating tsunami six months ago.

The quake Thursday had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6. There were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued.

1. Strong?
A 5.6 may seem strong on the East Coast where they feel it for hundreds of miles (and don't get much stronger)...

...but off Japan that's just a stomach rumble. They've had at least half a dozen in the 5's over the last month (and 2-3 times that many in the 4's), as well as one 6.9 barely a week ago.

2. Anything that Could be Damaged by a 5.6 Already Fell Down in the 9.0
with the possible exception of the various jury-rig stuff they are using to try to contain the disaster at Fukushima. :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :hide:

4. Someone Posted on my FB that Fuku is on Fire
I asked them for a link, since I can't find anything about that in the news.

5. That's because it probably isn't "news"
It's their ongoing fantasy life (I'm pretty sure it's originally from that UFO site).

Could be work lights and a light sea mist/fog rolling in... but put it in front of the "right" eyes and it's a fire.

And hey! Doesn't that smoke have a plutonium-esque sheen to it?
