... scared. It is too early to assess the casualities, but the ground was cracked in central Fukuoka and debris fell off many buildings.

The earthquake occured at 10:55am (JST) this Sunday and hit the prefectures or Saga and Fukuoka at a magnitude of 6 weak and 7 at the epicentre in Northern Kyushu.

The Shinkansen has stopped. Waiting for more info.
