O.K., this is what i got off msnbc
SENDAI, Japan - A powerful magnitude-7.2 earthquake struck northeastern Japan on Tuesday, injuring at least 62 people, causing power outages and snarling transportation. Skyscrapers shook as far away as Tokyo, 185 miles to the south, when the tremor struck at 11:46 a.m.
The earthquake was powerful enough to sway skyscrapers 185 miles away in Tokyo. And with an estimated magnitude of 7.2, it had the potential to cause catastrophic damage.
But this time, Japan got lucky.
No one died in the quake that rocked a wide swath of northern Japan on Tuesday. The scene of the worst damage was an indoor pool where part of the roof caved in, injuring a couple of dozen swimmers, many of them young children.

I say....oh, 18
Wow...just noticed I went from being an Aristocrat to a Feudal Lord. What does that get me??? I guess I can thank Coco for this....
