A magnitude 6.8 occurred off the coast of Northwestern Honshu, Japan on Saturday. It shook buildings 250 miles away in Tokyo and raised the possibilities of landslides near its epicenter. No tsunami alert was issued after the quake, which struck at 10:27 A.M. Japan time. There have been no reports of serious injuries caused by the earthquake. Closer to the epicenter, there were no issues at the Onagawa nuclear station, according to operator Tohoku Electric Power Co Inc. Bullet train services throughout northern Japan were suspended for several hours, but had resumed by late afternoon. There is still a very high potential for more large earthquake activity in the world somewhere. Regions that may be candidates for the next strong earthquake might be: the Andaman Islands region, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, the Banda Sea region), East Timor, Northern Mariana Islands, Ryukyu Islands region, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, Chile, the South Sandwich Islands region, Central America, the Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, Central Asia(Northern India, Western China, or the Hindu Kush region), possibly Iran.. There is even a high chance of mag. 7 or greater somewhere anytime now within the next 5 days at this point so far.
