Wow 2012 already starting off full speed ahead, that's for sure!
TOKYO (AP) – A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck under the sea south of Japan on Sunday, shaking buildings in the capital but causing no apparent damage or tsunami.
The quake struck near the uninhabited island of Torishima in the Pacific Ocean, about 370 miles south of Tokyo, and its epicenter was about 230 miles below the sea, the Meterological Agency said. It did not generate a tsunami.
Buildings in the Tokyo area shook, but no damage or injuries were reported. Express trains in northern and central Japan were suspended temporarily for safety checks but later resumed.
No abnormalities were reported at power plants, including the crippled nuclear power plant in northeast Japan hit by the March earthquake and tsunami, public broadcaster NHK reported.
A massive earthquake and tsunami March 11 left nearly 20,000 people dead or missing. Japan, which lies along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," is one of the world's most seismically active countries.

These poor people have suffered enough... They need to leave Japan as soon as possible, I don't see this stopping anytime soon.
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation before investigation. ~ Edmund Spenser
I agree, Shann0. I think it's only going to get worse from here on out for them too.
I've read on the web they've already done an amazing job cleaning up after last years earthquake and tsunami (unlike our country's totally useless and incompetent FEMA...think Katrina ) and are in the middle of rebuilding but I feel like it's all for naught really. I think they're going to see more of the same in the coming year.
It's heartbreaking.
I think we need to pray for the Japanese people.
