| Japanese quake prompts tsunami warning |
| 2010-12-22 |
| Hope Joseph M is on high ground A tsunami warning has been issued after a tremor occurred in the Pacific Ocean southeast of Japan. The United States Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.4, and was centred about 55 kilometres east of Chichi-shima in Japan's Bonin Islands, or about 1,050 kilometres south-southeast of Tokyo. The quake was reported to have occurred almost 15 kilometres below sea level. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for the chain of islands, with people being told to evacuate coastal areas to higher ground. The warning said the tsunami was expected to be up to two metres. Tsunami advisories were also posted for several islands and prefectures along the southern coast of Japan. |

| #3 You're probably right, Joe. Wendy doesn't take kindly to someone else taking over and reopening her restaurants. |

| #2 Personally I blame yesterday's REOPENING OF THE FORMER "WENDY'S" RESTAURANT at the Agana Shopping Center. |

| #1 So far nothing save the usual POST-MIDNITE LARGE BALL = OBLONGS OF LIGHTS, + MIS-SHAPED AURORAE = "NORTHERN/ARCTIC LIGHTS" oer GUAM-WESTPAC. The rumbling noise lasted milliseconds longer that the tremor. |
