Not saying any of this is true but according to my friend, he just heard of a Earthquake in Tokyo about 5 minutes ago, he said his friend saw it on the news, has anybody else heard of this yet? or is this one of those fake screenshots

According to http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ there hasn't been one.

There was a 5.6 near there a couple of hours ago, but there are 5.0+ quakes nearly every single day…

Edit: The Molucca sea is not as "near" as I was thinking… just looked it up… sorry…

No. Only small quakes near Honshu, like every day (probably aftershocks from Japan Earthquake of 2011). Check out the recent earthquakes here.

It may be one of those fake screenshots. I heard that the trolls were changing their plan. I wonder if we actually ruined their fake Yellowstone one by spreading the page where they were planning it all over Facebook?

Probably. But if we see fake screenshots tomorrow spreading through the Internet, we know how to fight them with.

I google'd. There's a bogus looking vid on a few dubious looking sites I never heard of, but nothing on Japan Today or Breaking News or Reuters.

Re: Tokyo earthquake?

paddymagee 21 Dec 2012 02:35

Google'd again. Nothing but the same bogus looking sites with the same bogus looking vid.

There were in fact earthquakes in Japan today. They measured around 4 magnitude only and they were too far from the coast, so they weren't even felt.
These earthquakes "off the coast of Honshu" occur very frequently, because the zone is right in the Pacific Ring of Fire. I wouldn't pay much attention to them.

Yes. I was referring to a bogus vid about a 7.0 quake.

Thought it was BS, just checked all mainstream news channels and nothing.

Unreal….people are looking for any excuse to claim disaster……I would be more concerned if this stopped happening. To me that would send up a red flag.

i know its obviously a massive hissy fit from time to time which is normal,throwing things up and all everywhere if she didnt have them now and again it would be more of a worry :)

Re: Tokyo earthquake?

metalangel 21 Dec 2012 01:23

And earthquakes always happen. I found out that they can be man-made too.

Next thing you're going to tell me is the sky is blue.

But sometimes the sky is dark or even red/orange during sunset. ;-)
