      Yes…but though it was 6.2 at the epicenter, it was not really heavy around Fuku…look at this more detailed map of fuku prefecture to see what I mean:

      *bread worried, though

        If you look at that map, the highest intensities (Green Dots) are north, south, and west of Fukushima Daiichi. Unfortunately there is no JMA gauge at the plant.

        Gday B&B Hmm, i am just as staggered with a M4.2 on the basis that it is frequency of the quakes that is the most troubling. They are relentless.

        I think i will check some solar watching channels and from a specific one that is using a technique of mapping the sunspots to the earth using a 'solar symmetry' and alignment of planets to predict earthquakes in specific regions.

        Part of the theory is that sunspots are actually very strong differential gravitational phenomena on the sun, and this difference between the gravity of one region of the sun, and another region, affects 'how' the attraction between the earth and the sun is distributed.

        This in turn affects the earth, because it is not a solid object and only the crust is solid.

        So it seems palpable that it is affected by the changes in gravitation by the sunspot regions which attract the earth and are not uniform and homogenous like modern milk but changing all the time.

          Spectrometising: Such an innovative suggestion, creativity and basic scientific thought at work.

          Right or wrong is subject to another conversation. With such an massive open sore on the face of the sun, what else could be channeling in our direction during sunspot activity as of yet undetectable?

          One's own suggestion is that perhaps dark matter/energy is being shaped by these violent star eruptions and affecting our massive semi-solid planet with it's gravitational effect.

          We know nothing about 83 percent of 'matter' and 23 percent of the 'mass/energy' except for it's gravitational effect on observed galactic rotation.

          Dark matter/dark energy; we are surrounded by it and know nothing about it. Sometime, somewhere someone is going to find something we can use to start understanding what all this unexplored stuff means to us.

            patman…In ancient times gone by, i am quite sure i remember reading there were those who paid a lot of attention to the formation of sunspots to predict such things as periods of plenty and periods of pestilence.

            They had a darkened room with a single pinhole to cast the image of the sun on the floor and this was their observatory.Like a pinhole camera.

            As far as theories go, there is probably "nothing new under the sun" :-)

    ..yep…in the volcanic areas…it is the location… near the Subduction Zone that bothers me.

    • My criterion is the nearness of a strong quake. Its 147 km to Fukushima 1(Daichi)nearer than the 152 km of the 9 MM quake. Further, its not the quake per se, it is the shock that the F1 foundation receives at t+ where t is the instant at which the 6 MM quake occurred. The entire shock wave energy may appear at F1 causing all hell.Thats how fires are plausible via dam impressed shocks-friction- causing rock melting. See for example my read of the 5.6 MM Calif quake of 13 Feb 2012.

        True..shock will be what affects Fukushima Npp..
        Still… any activity in that area is setting up for plate motion ..IMHO.

        It is the interplay of the daily massive surges of changes in reservoir contents in the world and the consequent follow of the hotspots and the earthquakes(three red musketeers). The web fire mapper shows the flip flop of the red hotspots around the globe as the cluster sums of changes in dam contents cause surges of Love and Rayleigh waves to fence through the crust of dear Mother Earth. When a study is made of the domino effects of the huge red bands on all the continents- the interconnection of the three red musketeers, one discovers the gravity of the situation created(climate change). There is a huge shift in the average deviation of the location of the mean of the worldwide earthquakes from 25,98 to around 25, 125(from the 2010 hydrological year). This signifies a redistribution of the mass of the earth and a shift of the magnetic axis towards longitude 125 form -107. Attendent with this is the horrifying consequence revealed by a non-linear correlation of the seismic moments with the worldwide dam content changes on a daily basis. A 9-10 MM earthquake is easily possible in the Pacific Rim, perhaps before the end of the current hydrological year. But the hotspot flip flop and a study of the stresses of 18 longitude bands spanning 360 degrees complicates the picture. The -80 to -60 longitude band places a whole lot of other regions also in the danger zone. Like the Eastern Coast of the USA and the West Coast of South America..I will come back after the present study of all the bands. The dynamics of the red musketeers go but beyond just quakes. It puts all the structures of modern civilization and indeed all life to unprecedented risks. Just imagine the fact that the archimedean lever effect of the gigacubic-meters of dam contents are exerted dynamically all round the centers of gravity of the clusters of dams and when quake occurs: just at t-, the force concentrates at the quake and nowhere else!At t+?

    I expect to see higher levels of radiation now along with increased temp. below the RPV's……

    Here is why:
    The Corium(s), I think one or more of the corium(s) are plunging (in slow motion) downward into the soil below the complex and are being helped along by Gravity (because of their great Mass), Earth Quakes and they are already interacting with the groundwater (as it rises and falls due to rainfall and or snow fall in the higher elevations above Fukushima)!
