7.0 quiake hits Japan
(CNN) -- A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan's Ryukyu Islands early Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
Soon after the 5:31 a.m. (3:31 p.m. Friday ET) quake, Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory, recommending that people on the Okinawa Islands evacuate from the seashore. The advisory also affected the Amami Islands and Tokara Islands.
The agency said the expected tsunami height was about 0.5 meters, or 20 inches.
The quake was centered about 6 miles (10 km) deep, about 53 miles (85 km) from Okinawa.
The quake was felt on Okinawa, with shaking that lasted about 15 seconds, said Lt. Col. Daniel King of the U.S. Pacific Command.
He told CNN that commanders in Japan and Hawaii were trying to get damage and casualty reports from U.S. military stations on Okinawa but had heard nothing in the immediate aftermath.

The first thing I thought was "Oh crap, not again!" But there doesn't seem to be any major damage, thank God. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100226/..._quake_japan_3

i lived on Okinawa for a year. unlike Haiti, the buildings are all pretty sturdy and the Japanese are better prepared for earthquakes.
they're probably more worried about US-Japanese relations concerning military presence on the island.

"We are the World" was done in Spanish. It can also be done in Japanese.

Anime version:
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one.
There are spirits flying
The earth shakes the sky and land
To life - we heed the fire gods call
We can't go on pretending day by day
The path she walks will make us change
We are all a part of God's great big famine
And the truth
You know
Love is all we need.
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a voice up high we’re giving
We're creating our own eyes
It's true
We'll make a better day
Just you and me.

I just heard about this, and I hope everything is okay. My brother has been stationed in Okinawa twice, and I believe he has requested to return.

My aunt has tried continuously to call and so far lines are jammed.
To be expected I guess.

These disasters are starting to happen too close to one another. I hope "2012" isn't something that might actually happen.
