Earthquake

[imomus]

Anybody in Japan with eyewitness reports of the strong earthquake that just happened there? BBC TV just had a very shaky video clip showing both the Tokyo tower and the Mori Roppongi Hills building shuddering for what looked like a rather long time.

TV News here in Osaka is saying that as of right now there are 40 injured and 4 confirmed dead. There were apparently 3 (?) strength 6 quakes, and there is still a lot of shaking.

Incidently, as of this morning the death count was up to 15, and the injured are either over 700 or 1000 people. It's hard to tell, because apparently regular lines of communication haven't been re-established.

By most accounts, this is the nastiest quake since Kobe.
