Tsunami warning after 7.1 magnitude Japan quake


Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning Thursday night nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast.

The Japan meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to one meter (3.2 feet). The warning was issued for a coastal area already torn apart by last month's tsunami.

Japan's NHK public television said those in areas where the tsunami warnings were issued should evacuate to higher ground.

The U.S. Geological Survey initially recorded Thursday's quake at 7.4 in magnitude, but later downgraded it to 7.1.

The quake hit 25 miles under the water, officials said. It struck off Japan's eastern coast about 60 miles from Sendai and 90 miles from Fukushima. It was about 215 miles from Tokyo, where buildings shook for about a minute.

According to NHK, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) said there are no additional problems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, where workers have been struggling to contain radiation since last month's quake and resulting tsunami.

Hundreds of aftershocks have shaken the northeast region devastated by the March 11 earthquake, but few have been stronger than 7.0.

U.S. officials said Thursday's quake is not expected to create a tsunami threat in Hawaii or the West Coast. No tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.
On the news of the Japan quake, the Dow Jones industrial average fell as many as 96 points before recovering some of those losses. Japan's stock market had already closed by the time the earthquake struck.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE !! To All Age..

A couple lost their 25 year old son, Arun Gopal Ratnam, in a fire at home on Feb. 4th. The son who had graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier had come home for a while.
He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his hostel room. His father told him to wait, to meet his mother, before he went back for a few days.  Arun decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come back home from work.

Sometime later their neighbours called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house. Unfortunately, 25 years old Arun died in the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by the LAPTOP resting on the bed.

When the LAPTOP was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide.
