Japan Shakes Again in Wake of 7.4 Magnitude Aftershock
Aftershocks are to be expected to last in Japan in the wake of the March 11th Japan Earthquake-Tsunami for up to a year, but I don’t think anyone was expecting them to be around a 7.4 up to almost a month later.
Japan was struck with a massive 7.4 aftershock today 61 miles east of Sendai, Japan, the city most famously ravaged last month by the impact of the 9+ earthquake. While there was no major damage this time around, but there were some injuries and at least one train station’s roof began to leak leading to an evacuation of the facility.
Luckily the quake came in the middle of the night, so there weren’t many people out of their homes. This is sure to have set back some of the progress that had been made of repairing previous damage.We’ll have to wait to see as assessments are made.
Although Japan is no at the top of the news any more like it was just a scant few weeks ago, things are still happening there, and assistance is needed. If you have not yet donated to help, please do as things are only getting better any time soon.
Please remember you can help by checking out the Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Relief.

The real facts are too horrible to mention. Japan is dying. Tokyo should evacuate. The disaster cannot be controlled or fixed. They're expecting another huge explosion any second now (Apr 7, 2011). Information from TEPCO and the government is misleading, false or not available. Nobody wants to say what is probably unspeakable. Some last words of advice: don't eat the fish (anywhere in the world), don't drink the water, stay out of the rain, and stop breathing.

The slats can be rotated such that they overlap with one side facing inward and then in the opposite direction such that they overlap with the other side facing inward. Between those extremes, various degrees of separation may be effected between the slats by varying the rotation.
