Here's the NYT page about it. As of the time I post this, six people are confirmed dead, tens of thousands of homes are without power, and there is a tsunami warning in effect. I'll keep Japan in my thoughts.

Not super destructive given the plate boundary Japan lives on.

Sadly predictable, but it is still no March 2011 thankfully.

And thankfully no tsunami.

I still remember the Day-After-Christmas 2004 tsunami... especially with earthquakes that get tsunami warnings this time of year.

7.6 is fairly strong by standards of Japanese earthquakes. Thankfully the death toll is mild.
