No worries. Obama is monitoring the Fiji situation.

Earthquake of Magnitude 6.1 Shakes Japan's Shizuoka, Home to Mount Fuji

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck close to Japan’s Mount Fuji late yesterday, triggering blackouts less than a week after the nation’s worst temblor on record killed at least 2,734 people.

The quake occurred at 10:31 p.m. local time, 42 kilometers (26 miles) north-northeast of Shizuoka, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There was no tsunami threat, an official at the Japan Meteorological Agency said at a midnight briefing televised by public broadcaster NHK.

Japan’s Honshu island has been rocked by multiple aftershocks since a March 11 quake and subsequent tsunami that Prime Minister Naoto Kan described as the country’s worst crisis since World War II. Kan yesterday called for calm as the government battled to prevent further radiation leaks from three quake-damaged nuclear reactors in Fukushima, 210 kilometers north of Tokyo.

BLOWING SNOW!

and youknow, last time it errupted in 1700s...

a week or 2 before was the last time any earthquake the size of fridays hit Japan also

I mean:


No worries. Obama is monitoring the FUJI situation. Well, he probably is in the Figi Islands, now that I think about it...

Fire breaks out again at Fukushima's No. 4 reactor: TEPCO
TOKYO, March 16, Kyodo

A fire broke out again early Wednesday at the troubled No. 4 reactor of the quake-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

Around 5:45 a.m., a worker at the plant saw flames on the fourth floor of the reactor's building, believed to be the same spot where an apparent hydrogen explosion caused a fire Tuesday morning in the wake of last Friday's magnitude 9.0 earthquake.

The plant operator said it has reported the incident to firefighters and local governments.

On Tuesday, the utility said water in a pool storing spent nuclear fuel rods at the reactor may be boiling and its level has dropped, exposing the rods, prompting the government to order Tokyo Electric to inject water into the pool ''as soon as possible to avert a major nuclear disaster.''

Unless the spent fuel rods are cooled down, they could be damaged and emit radioactive substances.
