    Thanks for the report, WJ. I see 9 are confirmed dead with after shocks a real possibility. Let's hope those aren't realized. It hit a highly populated area. The major tremors were beneath 1 million people.

    I don't know how far away that was. I'll take a look.

    FIW...According to this Reuters report, the nuclear power plants are safe...

    Headline: Strong quake in Japan kills at least nine, nuclear plants safe:
