I read there was a 5.0-4.0 magnitude earthquake in Tochigi/Ibaraki this morning around 1:48.  The epicenter was a little off the coast.  But it took the online news roughly 10 minutes to pick up this story.  Almost felt like the Big One from my perspective.  The whole place was in for a good shake, lasting roughly a minute before calming down.

I haven't read any major damage nor injuries yet.  But considering Myanmar's recent cyclone assault, natural disasters are probably still in people's consciousness.
