Well, she's awake now.

6.8 MAGNITUDE. Came with a cluster of others before hand including a 6.2 JMA. I was there for the first few clusters at the 5 JMA level, but flew out. Missed the 6.8 by 2 days.

When I was booking J hotels, most advertised as ferrous metal building for this very reason. Often conduct drills as Tokyo sitting on fault lines.

Nuclear plant in the news last year.

Science center with Imax movie shows the active plates colliding. Indonesia Sumatra gets lots of these at the southern end.
