Two 74 Japan Earthquakes April 7 2011 with a strange blue flash Tsunami warning Video courtesy of Godlike Productions. Some confusion exists: Were there one, or two aftershocks? Urban Survival's screen grab of the USGS site shows two, but now their site shows one. This should be cleared up(or scrubbed) shortly..
Another strong quake rattles tsunami-ravaged Japan (UPDATED 11:05 a.m.)
A magnitude-7.4 aftershock rattled Japan on Thursday night, knocking out power across a large swath of the northern part of the country nearly a month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that flattened the northeastern coast.
..
The operator of the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant said there was no immediate sign of new problems caused by the aftershock, and Japan's nuclear safety agency says workers there retreated to a quake-resistant shelter (not "quake-proof")in the complex. None were injured. The crisis there started when the tsunami knocked out cooling systems. Workers have not been able to restore them.
Thursday's quake knocked out several power lines at the Onagawa nuclear power plant north of Sendai, which has been shut down since the tsunami. One remaining line was supplying power to the plant and radiation monitoring devices detected no abnormalities. The plant's spent fuel pools briefly lost cooling capacity but an emergency diesel generator quickly kicked in.
