It LOOKS like a doubly strong quake in Japan but in reality is was 200,000 x stronger in Japan. I wish this were reported more clearly to alleviate fear mongering from those without knowing any details yet having power to make critical decisions.
Since I live in the area, we have slight tremors from time to time since we are on a series of fault lines. The media reports all of them no matter how small or when it happens.
We get that kind of thing all the time and no one even notices.

What a non-event.
Quick shut down all the nuclear reactors because there might be a meltdown!
What a non-event.
