God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a very large earthquake in Japan.
It came in as a magnitude 6.8,
18 kilometers southeast of Miyazaki, Japan.
Came in as a 9 on the DYFI.
Must be a very populated area.
6 on the shake map. There was an associated tsunami warning.
USGS came in at 36 kilometers of depth.
There was a large aftershock there as well.
A 5.2. Very similar depth here.
Obviously not as strong as an aftershock.
These are both on plate tectonic boundaries,
they're both on volcanic ranges, and both
of them struck very near to nuclear facilities in Japan.
I keep yelling at Japan for continuing
to build these nuclear facilities, even though
nothing has been accomplished at Fukushima.
I want to bring y'all in and show y'all exactly where this is located.
Let me show you where some of the new nuclear facilities are located.
Remember this is Fukushima over here where they've had a catastrophe
in 2011 and they still have not been able to grab the rods which are
still making their way towards the core of the earth.
They're still being cooled off by millions of gallons of
ocean water every day that's being recycled and put
back in the Pacific Ocean. Well in this particular area
You'll see that, let's see where we are.
I think we have a new facility right here. I know we have
one right here and right here.
Let's take a look at what we have here. They continue to build these
nuclear facilities and they're on volcanic ranges coming
from every direction. Japan is a volcanic
Island here and nuclear should probably not be their choice of energy.
So that very large quake, 6.8 magnitude,
according to the USGS, hit right here.
We have two nuclear facilities operating right next door,
three operating right here.
We have two more being constructed right here,
and four more in operation right here.
And this is where the 6.8 hit.
This is back to Fukushima here, and Fukushima is a mess.
A total mess that they have not been able
to clean up in what's now 13 plus years.
Why do they continue to build these nuclear reactors knowing
that Japan is basically a volcanic ridge that created an island?
Over to VolcanoDiscovery.com,
we see we have a very strong magnitude 6.8 earthquake.
Let's get some information on this thing.
All right, earthquake details of 6.8, USGS main reporting service.
Most importantly,
14.9 atomic bombs worth of energy were released with this.
That's going to be some blast right near all
the nuclear facilities there.
And here we go.
There's where it popped off there.
There's one of our nuclear facilities here, another one here.
we have two more here and here another one being
built here very very bad choice of locations there
basically on this volcanic ridge that runs right up
and creates Japan comparing quake
data from different reporting agencies first we have
the USGS at 36 kilometers six eight
Raspberry Shake, back at it, 6.7, 2 kilometers.
The French came in at 6.5,
which makes me think this was a much stronger quake.
We have Indonesia coming in at 6.4.
The Australians came in at 6.8.
Germany came in at 6.8.
The Australians were at 44 kilometers in depth.
The Germans at 32.
And the Italians came in at 6.8, 18 kilometers of depth.
And the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology came in at 6.8.
The default depth of asterisks 10 kilometers,
a depth given at 10 kilometers often means
that the depth of the quake could not be determined
with sufficient accuracy, thus the asterisks.
The asterisks.
And it looks like the Europeans came in at a 6.8 as well.
Must have been a strong quake, 36 kilometers.
And believe it or not, we have Japan coming in at a 6.9 themselves.
Wow.
A 6.9 at 33 kilometers of depth.
A very, very large, dangerous earthquake.
Headed over to the National Data Buoy Center.
Since we had a tsunami warning, we see one buoy in event mode.
Our earthquake was right here.
Now, these buoys are turned off, which can't be good.
And I would think that some of these buoys would have
been activated before this one.
So this is probably another event, but we'll take a look.
So this is really, really strange.
We've got something happening up there.
Everything in red here is an event.
We've seen three separate events up there near Anchorage.
I know that Mount Spurr is activating
and Mount Hayes very well may be activating and we could
have some underwater sea mounts in that area
but I see three separate events we'll take a look at
those. All right it looks like uh this should be in green
and it's column height. This could be an
event.
It looks like it lasted, uh, about two hours.
Headed up on a swell, I guess.
This event here lasted a few minutes,
and it was less than five centimeters.
This is well over a meter, three and a half feet here,
and so this is a much more significant situation.
Same buoy, 46-410, the one right near Anchorage, Alaska.
Again, associated with something else, not this earthquake.
So in summary, we've had a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in Japan,
right around a bunch of nuclear facilities.
They're just cruising for cruising.
Some came in at a 6.9 with a depth, 36 kilometers of depth,
a tsunami warning, no tsunami gradient that we could find,
a 6 on the shake map, an aftershock of a 5.2.
Ladies and gentlemen, a fairly big quake,
and we did tell y'all to look for big quakes today
based on the lunar and, well, Mars lineup with Earth.
God bless you guys.
