5.9 Richters Earthquake Virginia / Washington D.C. / Richmond!!!!!
Buildings have been evacuated and all the news channels are currently covering a very large 5.9 Richters Earthquake with the epicenter north of Richmond and south of W.D.C. just after noon today Central Time. They are saying it has been a very long time since this big of an earthquake struck that region. One nuke plant has been shut down with two reactors in Virginia. Keep watching because there could be lots more earthquake energy as Hurricane Irene continues up towards Florida and our East Coast!!!!! EQ Guy

Sumatra Aftershocks were at Nias Island = Japan Aftershocks Could Be. . . . .???
One of the major aftershocks from the Great Sumatra Earthquake struck on March 28, 2005 at 8.7 Richters hitting Nias Island and killing 1200 people. While I didn't exactly figure out the exact number of miles this location was from the epicenter of the original Sumatra Earthquake, I did figure out the following from the information that i just finished reviewing: Aftershocks of the early 2011 Japan earthquake could possibly strike at another point along the boundary between the Asian Tectonic Plate and the Pacific Tectonic Plate OR at another spot closer to the eastern boundaries of the Indian Ocean Plate or maybe even further north along that line between the Indian and Asian Plates. I just wanted to note these facts as a result of knowing now that the aftershocks of the Sumatra earthquake struck more out along the tectonic plate boundaries than just concentrating on one spot, which these aftershocks do not seem to have done at Sumatra. . . and so as a result I would expect that neither would they concentrate on the Japan region today. While there may still be some reason to worry for Japan, right at this moment as I write this update I'm thinking along the lines of Sichuan, China also being in that general region as well as parts of Russia, Indonesia, Philippines, and etc. It looks like an aftershock could strike a couple hundred miles this way or that and I will continue to look into finding all of the exact numbers and keep you updated like here at EQ Blog-2 and Thank-You for reading!!!

May 21, 2011 = NOT End of World!!! No Earthquake Today, Sorry!!!
Hello, I'm posting this here on EQ Blog-2 because it is kind of dumb thinking May 21 could actually be the end of the world per se. I had been asked a few times over the last couple weeks and didn't know what all those guys were talking about till tonight when I seen the story about all the billboards, and further the dude I think specifically mentioned a major earthquake as supposedly being the cause of the end. (?????) So I am writing tonight to give just a quick update on all potential earthquake energy that is currently out there and with the hopes of letting my readers know that there WILL NOT be a life-as-we-know-it ending earthquake today or anytime soon!!! Yes, there is a small amount of earthquake energy that may still be unaccounted for, but NOT enough to fulfill this prophecy. Finally, yesterdays Turkey Earthquake struck on the second day after the Full Moon and just about basically concludes the sum total of all the earthquake energy that I had even been watching/waiting for and now aside from one tornado that stuck near Philadelphia that I have not yet gotten a report on, that seems to be it for now! Thank-You all again for reading and sorry, but it is NOT the end of the world!!!!! EQ Guy

OLD STORY FROM: Monday September 3, 1923, JAPAN DELUGED WITH DISASTER: TYPHOON, EARTHQUAKE, LANDSLIDE, FIRE!!!
Estimate Dead At 100,000 or More In Coast Cities!!!
The eyes of the world were taken from any smaller thing like the Greek and Italian War Sunday by the appalling disaster in Japan. The estimate of 100,000 lives lost in Yokohama and Tokio was only an estimate. Just the moment wireless communications was opened between Shanghai and Japanese points, the news came to the Gazette Sunday and the bulletin was posted. Hundreds of people in the evening saw this bulletin. Only a little was added by the morning papers. In Japan it is Tuesday, the calendar being one day ahead of us here. No water, no food, a great city still burning is the news of the day. Each story only adds to the horror of the disaster. People fled in panic to the mountains near-by. Yokohama was destroyed and the capital of Japan, 17 miles away, was wrecked. A typhoon blew down hundreds of buildings Saturday. When it subsided earthquake shocks followed one after another. Buildings were piled in heaps and fire broke out. It was a scene of horror and death. For a hundred miles along the shore, towns were piled in heaps. Nagoya, a city of 350,000 people was destroyed and other smaller towns are no more. Tidal waves and landslides wrecked other cities and sea coast villages and buried them forever. Hundreds of Americans are somewhere in the city of Yokohama, and Tokio houses several thousands of Americans resident there. It will be days in the confusion and terror before reports of the whereabouts of all Americans can be learned. Only the most meagre news is yet available owing to the conditions of wire and wireless service.
SUMMARY OF DISASTER
The situation in Japan resulting from one of the greatest disasters in history as disclosed by advices up to this morning is as follows:
Estimated that at least 100,000 persons dead. One report even gave this number for the number of Tokio’s dead.
Shocks, believed to be “Settling Shocks” of the original temblor, were recorded on American seismographs.
Great tidal waves followed the first shock.
Communications with Japan continued virtually paralyzed. Some matter coming out by cable from Southern Japanese seaports, but most of information emanating from Iwaki radio station, 155 miles north of Tokio.
Disastrous fires following earthquake believed under control.
Numerous structures of scenic or historic interest destroyed.
Fears are entertained for numerous Americans in Japan or on ships either in Yokohama harbor or near it, for nothing has been heard from any of these ships, though several were large passenger liners equipped with wireless.
British and American navel vessels have been ordered to Japan to give relief. Relief ships have been started from other Japanese ports to Yokohama. All Japanese vessels ordered to take up relief work.
Osaka and Kobe voted 300,000 Yen for relief work.
Martial law declared in Tokio and Yokohama, and no one allowed to enter the former unless he carries his own food.
Numerous volcanoes are reported in eruption.
Tokio: Eight wards of the cities fifteen virtually wiped out, including business and financial districts; much damage elsewhere, water supply failed, fire caused explosion in Governors arsenal, killed several thousand. Food and water lacking for thousands of refuges.
Yokohama: Foreign and business sections wiped out largely by fire; tens of thousands of guests, including many foreigners at resorts in mountains near by. Estimated 1,400 houses burned.
Yokosuka: Tidal wave wrecked many government vessels, much damage done in town which is of 70,000 population, fire reported broken out, naval station engulfed by tidal wave and buildings and ships destroyed.
Nagoyia: Population 620,000 reported practically destroyed.
Sasako: Six hundred reported perished in collapsed railway tunnel.
Osaka: Railroads for hundred miles north torn up, many trains wrecked with heavy casualties.
Ito: More than 500 houses washed away by tidal wave.
Kakone: At this famous mountain resort it is said to be easier to count living than dead. Foreigners frequented this district.
Karuakara: Aviator reported could not see one house upright.
Okoshima: “Picture Island” reported submerged.
Odawara: Swept by tidal wave.
