Read/saw a big nasty earthquake hit japan not too long ago on the net, hopefully @
テクニカル諏訪子 is alright overthere:
Osaka was rocked by a 6.1-magnitude earthquake. There have been at least three casualties, including a 9-year-old girl who was killed while walking to school, and according to
The Guardian, hundreds of people were injured in the quake.
In Osaka Prefecture and neighboring Hyogo, over 170,000 households are now without power.
“We may have to consider the possibility of even greater earthquakes following, as happened in the quakes in Kumamoto,” Shinji Toda, an earthquake geology professor at Tohoku University, told Kyodo.
Some local supermarkets are closed. The ones that are still open are experiencing the effects of panic buying, no doubt with many worried about aftershocks or a bigger earthquake.
