I pray for mercy over the land of Japan, and for that of our fallen world

Japan was rocked Thursday by yet another powerful Earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter Scale, and located closer to the coast of Japan than the 9.0 quake which struck on March 11th, triggering a powerful Tsunami that devastated the island nation.

This latest quake in a string of earthquakes and aftershocks since March 11th triggered a Tsunami warning in one prefecture and advisories in others. The warnings were lifted approximately 90 minutes later and no casualties were reported. Workers evacuated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant following the quake, the nuclear plant which has triggered a national and possibly global crisis due to the spreading of radioactive material in the air, land and sea.

The quake’s epicenter was off the coast of Miyagi in northeastern Japan, centered 207 miles from Tokyo and approximately 30.4 miles deep. The earthquake took place shortly after 11:30 p.m (10:30am ET)
