I have to make this post A.S.A.P. in case something really serious is going on. There happens to be a swarm of earthquakes taking place in the Izu Islands region, South of the Bando Basin, off the southeastern coast of Japan. The Northern Izu-Ogasawara Trench appears to be growing active as we speak. It is a convergent boundary, so it is capable of producing a major tsunami-genic earthquake. I'm not saying that is going to happen. It is just an area to watch. If a massive earthquake does strike, there will be more time for people to evacuate the shores of Japan proper. This does not mean to sit there and wait until you see signs of the waves approaching. These waves travel extremely fast. I'm sure that people there are very good about exercising precaution and taking immediate appropriate action in case of an emergency, especially after the March 2011 disaster. It also could still be active somewhere else in the world as well. There has been more activity taking place north of Hokkaido and in the Kuril Islands region. There was also a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in the border region of Russia and Mongolia earlier.
