2 new quakes rattle Japan's northeast, Tokyo

TOKYO – Japan has been rattled by a couple of aftershocks within minutes, causing buildings in Tokyo to sway.

The first, measuring 6.2 in magnitude, struck Tuesday night off the coast of Fukushima prefecture, 200 miles (325 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo and near where a massive quake hit last week.



Three minutes later, a second 6.0-magnitude quake rumbled under Shizuoka prefecture, 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo.

2. Posted it to make clear the strength of the quakes/after shocks --
And there have been more than 200 of them --

Japan has 55 nuclear reactors in all -- over 17 complexes --

There are worries about new tsunami activity --

and I'm sure concern about their other reactors --
