another earthquake in japan...

A 6.7 quake hit Hokkaido today.

I was (fortunately) wrong in my earlier prediction that the west coast would be hit with a sizeable quake shortly after the 8 point Hokkaido quake.

but it looks like the subduction zone is where all the action is...

UPDATE: another 5.5 hit Hokkaido Sunday morning, 10/12

I think Hokkaido has had enough. These unfortunate people...no sooner do they get the books back up on the shelves, they are knocked down again.
