A powerful earthquake jolted Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido Friday, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes. Local media reports say more than 300 people were injured. An earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Northeastern Japan at 4:50 a.m. local time Friday. The powerful earthquake occurred in the Pacific Ocean, about 100 kilometers off the coast of Hokkaido.

Shaky stuff :errrr:

Although these natural disasters are terrbible..........at least the island didn't get hit with a tsunami........apparently they often follow these rumbles (according to the news anyway)
 
tsunami

i hear they are preparing for a big one, but what can you do when a huge wall of water comes crashing down on you?

Grab your snorkels Japan, you're probably gonna need them.
