And the Quakes Continue...

Yet another earthquake shook northeast Japan today, adding to the current havoc.
This quake was reported to have a 7.4 magnitude, which is the largest aftershock thus far. This caused a power outage in certain regions, and also lead to a tsunami warning (although this was lifted later on in the day.) No further damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant has been discovered, but the reactors are all being monitored greatly. Injuries have been reported this far, but no deaths thankfully.

Eco-Note of the day: only fill your kettle with the water you need. If everyone did this we could save enough electricity to run ALL the street lighting in the entire country.
