This new powerful 7.1 earthquake has PROMPTED a Tsunami warning for the Japan islands. Also, this quake was a "swallow" earthquake, and these can cause "major damage."
I remember the famed "Northridge Earthquake" that hit the Los Angeles area over 20 years ago. That was a 6.9 and it literally threw me into a wall. Can't imagine how the people of Japan are handling these earthquakes.
It was ONE month ago today that the deadly 9.1 Great Earthquake destroyed much of Northern Japan.
