The seventh largest recorded Earthquake slammed Japan early this morning leaving hundreds of deaths and destruction in its wake. Along with the massive destruction in Japan, several other countries were also under tsunami warning and some minimal damage is being reported from the western coast of the US. The Earthquake was measured at 8.9.
There’s also reports that another separate Earthquake has hit a different area of Japan. This Earthquake is measured at 6.7.

For you youngsters that can’t remember the 3 Mile Island or Chernobyl nuclear reactor meltdowns, get ready for some bad juju. We’ll be posting an article about this later today as the reactor problems continue in Japan
Hardly “The End” though. I just read another article how this is a hint of “2012” on another site. Just saying, the average strength of earthquakes per year and even decade has actually been decreasing for the last 100 years. If you look what was happening in the 1950’s and ’60’s, this is maybe 1% of what they were getting.
And I don’t think it’ll be like the Chernobyl disaster. Ever since then, regulations all across the world in Nuclear Reactors have been placed, and it seems because of this, they’re going to slowly release the pressure of the reactor so nothing catastrophic happens. They’re more worried about what’s already got into the air then what’s a small possibility of getting in the air. Not nearly as much radiation is currently in the air like Chernobyl, but enough to cause a scare and evacuate the area, which has already been done.
