Huge aftershock strikes SAME underwater spot as original March quake
Warnings of two metre wave over 300 miles of coastline
Fukushima Nuclear plant evacuated
A tsunami warning has been issued in Japan after 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the North Eastern coast.

The Japan meteorological agency has issued a warning for a wave of up to two metres after the night time eruption, 25 miles underwater off the coast of Miyagi prefecture.

The alert is for coastal areas already torn apart by last month’s tsunami, which is believed to have killed some 25,000 people and has sparked an ongoing crisis at a nuclear power plant.

The latest quake occurred around 90 miles from Fukushima.

A spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said workers at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant are safe but that it had evacuated two workers there and seven at a sister plant to the south that was not badly damaged.

Paul Caruso, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., said the new quake struck at about the same location and depth as the March 11 quake.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
