8.1 magnitude earthquake hit the Kuril Islands north of Japan

Tokyo, JP (AP) -- Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a
tsunami warning after an earthquake with preliminary
magnitude 8.1 hit the Kuril Islands north of Japan.

The quake struck about 390 kilometers east of the
Etorofu islands north of Japan at 1115 GMT, according
to the agency.

A tsunami of about two meters (6.5 feet) or more could
hit the Pacific coast of Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido
and main island of Honshu after 1210 GMT, the agency said.

The agency told residents along Japan's Pacific coast
to flee to higher ground

HAT DAYUMM!!!!!

NO less than an 8, huh?
That sounds like divine punishment for censoring Ozawa's work.

K, now that I threw in my -10 point "joke"...

furthermore...

QUOTEHolocene tsunami deposits in eastern Hokkaido between Nemuro and Tokachi show that the Kuril subduction zone repeatedly produced earthquakes and tsunamis larger than those recorded in this region since AD 1804 (Nanayama et al., Nature, 424, 660-663, 2003). Twenty-two postulated tsunami sand layers from the past 9500 years are preserved on lake bottom near Kushiro City, and about ten postulated tsunami sand layers from the past 3000 years are preserved in peat layers on the coastal marsh of Kiritappu.
