Japan calls off tsunami advisory after 6.5-magnitude quake

Japanese authorities on Monday called off a tsunami advisory after a 6.5-magnitude earthquake off the country's northeast coast produced little more than ripples.

However, the Japan Meteorological Agency urged coastal residents to remain prepared to evacuate because of a continued threat of aftershocks that could spawn tsunamis.

Authorities issued a tsunami advisory Monday morning for coastal areas of Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan after a quake struck the region at 7:24 a.m. The tsunami advisory was cancelled at 9:05 a.m.

    Nah... just one of the many with their heads buried in the sand. There IS a movement towards a new world order and you'll learn about it the hard way. But, by then, it will be too late.

    Keep in mind...They control you with fear, you must conquer your fear, then and only then do you have power over them.
