Our friend Art is taking some tough and unnerving hits right now.

Some good thoughts people! Please.

1. I couldn't survive all these aftershocks

It was a 7.1.

<snip>
A powerful earthquake has hit north-east Japan, exactly a month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.

The 7.1-magnitude tremor triggered a tsunami warning, and forced the evacuation of workers from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

The epicentre of the quake was in Fukushima prefecture, and struck at a depth of just 10km (six miles).

It came as Japan said it was extending the evacuation zone around the nuclear plant because of radiation concerns.

Stay safe.

2. Nothing but, I promise.

If I believed in a sky daddy, I would be blistering his ear right now. Hey, Gaia, would you please stop this now?

3. Sending prayers, thoughts and vibes. May peace and love surround and comfort all who have been

affected and be the source of ever renewed strength and courage. :grouphug:

4. How many does this make in the last 30 days?

This must be some kind of record or something.

[Posteritatis]

5. A few hundred to a few thousand, probably

A jolt like that's going to be causing things to slip or shift or give way and so on and so forth for quite awhile. The geology's still trying to settle.

6. 954 since March 11... and 17 in the last 24 hours.

Check out the Japan Quake Map

http://www.japanquakemap.com/

I got this from another DU thread a couple weeks ago.
As of right this minute, it shows 954 quakes since Mar. 11.

You can get info from the start, by a specific day, or within the last 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 hours. If you speed the display up, it's really amazing to watch. Quite stunning if you forget what the colors and sizes represent.

9. Yahoo Japan is showing >1000 earthquakes in the last 30 days

Most of those have been centered either in Fukushima, Ibaraki, or Miyagi prefectures.
