    You can compare apples and oranges. My point was that something that is common here, which are minor earthquakes; is the exact same that is common in Japan, Japan's grade of earthquakes. The whole point is that each time after Virginia had a "bad" earthquake, it was in the news of the aftershock earthquakes that happened after it. The problem is that people keep posting about Japan's earthquakes as if it is "2012," which I don't believe in at all, and the whole world is about to end. I'm done posting on this topic. Virginia has had over 300 earthquakes in the last 25 years. That's not exactly something you can completely ignore.

    California has over 300 earthquakes just in the past week alone -- I don't think anyone is ignoring it, it's just in times of disasters people tend to compare what's "worse" between certain ones if it's a similar disaster.

    I just heard about this. From what I've heard, they're more concerned about additional quake damage at Fukushima. (presumeably, there is still a radiation leak at the plant.)

    I definitely feel for everyone over there, but some people are just overreacting in this thread about the second quake. I know quite a few people in Japan and one of my friends facebook status was and I quote: "Overrated earthquake is overrated. I had to wake Darren up (her husband) or he would have slept right through it."

    Just something to keep in mind.

    We're pretty well prepared for the size of quake that we felt last night. There was very little (if any) additional damage and the ensuing tsunami was relatively minor, causing no additional damage either.

    Perhaps surprising or scary? Yes. And it's nice to have people worrying about it, but quakes around 7.0 and lower are pretty common around Japan.
