7.3 Earthquake Rattles Fukushima

7.3 Earthquake Rattles Fukushima


Government Warns 8.0 Quake Possible

A 7.3 earthquake hit near Fukushima.
That is large earthquake … bigger than the 1989 San Francisco earthquake (But it is much smaller than last year’s 9.0 Japanese earthquake, which produced almost 1,000 times more energy.)
The location was very close to last year’s earthquake.  The epicenter of the 2011 earthquake is shown on the left, and of today’s quake on the right:http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/12/7-3-earthquake-rattles-fukushima.html
