A separate quake hit on a different fault,, according to CNN. It was first reported as a 6.6, downgraded to 6.2 .. near Nagano.

If Mt. Fuji becomes active and erupts as a result, it will be the End Times.

Some of our Japanese distributors are here right now learning about our new software, you have to think they would much rather be watching the news. The distributor is in Tokyo but I haven't asked if any of them have family in the affected area.

I was reading on another forum just the other day about how supposedly the solar activity cycle influences earthquakes. It seemed pretty far-fetched to me, but who knows. This is a link to more on it, again kind of in the "tinfoil" realm in my opinion but kind of interesting in a National Enquirer way.

I saw a headline about a supermoon causing this earthquake. Never heard this theory before.
