UPDATE: STRONG EARTHQUAKE HITS JAPAN; FELT FROM TOKYO TO FUKUSHIMA

The HORROR REPORT was one of the first sources  to report that a major earthquake struck near Honshu, Japan.. there is debating information on what magnitude the quake actually was. Originally, the USGS reported a 7.3, but other sources have reported it to be a 7.6 ..

The quake occurred 230 miles east of Honshu.. Fukushima is in the zone where shaking took place.

At this moment, a tsunami advisory has been issued, but there is not believed to a widespread tsunami developing..

This quake appears to be intraplate rather than subduction interface..

The earthquake was felt  off the coast to Fukushima, to northern Japan, and in Tokyo..

So far major American cable news organizations have stuck to politics instead of natural calamity.
As usual, people are flocking to Twitter and the Internet for real news..
