Magnitude 4.2 earthquake.

I'm deciding... no big deal. :shrug:


Similar to the one in California a couple weeks ago that was put all over the news... yeah, those three boxes of cereal that fell off the store shelf were a major loss.

A 2.8 can "hit" a city too... and nobody would even know it. 4.2 Mag. is still well within the "minor damage" range.

So, no mention of a Tsunami?

You're getting to the age where you think pretty much everything is "bad", aren't you?

japanese people are short. closer to the ground.
it takes more wobbling for them to fall over than a taller person like, lets say an American.
taking this into consideration, their earthquake of 4.2 would be very small due to their low center of gravity.
it would take a much greater quake to knock them over.

no big deal, shows over, nothing to see here,, move on.

Not a big deal at the moment according to the Australian Press:

Seeing Japan has 2000 + earthquakes, a 4.9er is nothing adn they are so well prepared we learn from them!
And every 5 minutes they have a tremor not related to Sumo matches.
