    Interesting. But that air system addresses only the horizontal earthquakes. When the earthquake hypocenter is under the house, I'm not sure it'll work - it may even be worse than a regular house. Anyway, people in Tokyo and region need something quick:
    - today
    - yesterday evening

  4. There was a strong foreshock on March 8 by hcs_$reboot · · Score: 1 · on Local Atmosphere Heated Rapidly Before Japan Quake

    Images in TFA show infrared activity from March 8.
    There was actually a strong foreshock on March 8 (March 9 Japan time) http://tenki.jp/earthquake/detail-3568.html
    So the infrared was probably not prior to the earthquake, but during an earthquake, i.e. the foreshock.

    Tenki.jp was my go-to site during the last quake. It shows quakes and tsunami warnings, updated almost instantly.

    There will be an Earthquake in Japan sometime in the next ten years!

    Well, there was an intensity 5 earthquake here in Tokyo yesterday night. I was doing some work at the computer at the time, when the ground started shaking slightly as if there was a very big truck passing by. A few seconds later the big tremor began. It was shaking for like 20-30 seconds before starting fading slowly. It even woke my wife up.

    This site has real-time information about earthquakes in Japan as they take place (site is in Japanese). Clicking on the left arrow in the top right corner you can see information about past earthquakes (at the moment of writing this, there has been another slight tremor in northern Japan).

    Looks like at least six people were killed on yesterday's big one (site in Japanese too).
