It hit just before midnight local time. that's what it looked like. close to the same area as last month's 9 quake. the largest aftershock so far, measuring between 7.1 and 7.4. at least 132 injuries were reported, some of them serious. the quake knocked out train lines, damaged roads, at least two buildings collapsed, millions lost power, it triggered a tsunami warning, as well. just imagine the fear that must have set off. the warning was canceled about 90 minutes later. not clear what the toll might be on the fukushima daiichi power plant, which has been in crisis since the march 11 9 quake...
