Today, January 26, 2008 at 04:33 AM local time, there was another earthquake in the Noto Hanto region of Japan. This time it was not as destructive as the one in March 2007 which was magnitude 6.9. In that earthquake friends and relatives lost their houses or they were severely damaged. So you can imagine, any news of tremors in that area gets our attention. This time there we no major destructions.
