Just to show that we have some awareness in this Community of events outside of politics and the mainland United States, and the two latter entry states.

Evacuations in Chile and Argentina after tsunami warning

Thousands were evacuated after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Chile's southern coast on Friday morning.

EDIT: I didn't see the BBC writers add anything about a shake farther up that coastline that was about a 6plus in strength. I saw that on the check I did some hours ago. That is, itself, a nasty bit of shake. I think I saw that on some geological chart I was looking at. Maybe I am the one that got this wrong.

So some interesting Mother Nature stuff here in Japan.

About an hour or so ago I realized I'd forgotten to do the usual JMA check and so went there and one part of that routine is checking about shakes and was so surprised at this, that I did a screen grab:



No shakes in Japan after that one in South America is interesting; BUT, then, Mother Nature wasn't finished with me/us (here in Japan) because just about thirty or so minutes ago she gave the folks in downtown Tokyo something to think about:



Just a 4.1 in strength, but 80km deep is the key, or NHK would have had an emergency thingy on their page. I had to go to Yahoo, as nobody else was too interested.

Still, no shakes in Japan from 1632hrs JST May 2nd until 1235hrs May 4th is interesting. But that would be shakes of intensity '1' or higher. Sometimes we can feel very soft shakes that JMA doesn't put into their public log.

Just have to hope that 4.1 wasn't a pre-shake.
