What a day to wake up. Shooting in Rio de Janeiro. Landslides. And another unfortunate earthquake in the same subduction zone in Japan.
I'm reading conflicting reports - some say 7.1 and some 7.4. Either way it's massive and not exactly what Japan needs right now. I'm unclear on the tsunami threat to the California coast, but according to the USGS there is no warning from this earthquake.
Looking at the GIS data it appears that the earthquake epicenter is around 40 miles from the March 11 8.4 earthquake, and much closer to the shore.
