No, I'm not claiming the end of the world. I think I'm much more reasonable person than that. Anywhoo, I'm glad everything was all cool. A couple friends in Japan said it woke them up, but no damage.

I read something about a week ago saying they are seeing isotopes suggesting that fission is still present in at least one of the partially melted down reactors. Something with the half life of a week is still around that shouldn't be. Scary stuff for them. I am sure getting shaken around would not be what they want right now.
