    Was in the bathroom at the time, sure felt it in Tokyo!
    Just checked radiation page for earthquake data, I see the two quakes match data reported on NHK. 739am & 743am.

    It’s a worry to have quakes close to fault line near Mt Fuji. Especially after the Tokyo uni report of the Tokai earthquake due in four years (70% chance).

    Yes Frank, the radiation page showed a;
    ■M 5.2, eastern Honshu, Japan, Depth 26.40 km, Time Sat 07:43:15 (JST), Lat: 35.5424, Long: 138.9598
    ■M 4.9, eastern Honshu, Japan, Depth 31.60 km, Time Sat 07:39:44 (JST), Lat: 35.5053, Long: 138.9024

    that info is from U.S. Geological data

    “A 5.0-magnitude earthquake at 7:39 a.m. local time (2239 GMT Friday) was centered about 16.7 kilometers (10.3 miles) northwest of Yamakita, a town located in the Ashigarakami District of Kanagawa Prefecture, or about 67 kilometers (41 miles) west of Tokyo. It struck at a depth of approximately 20 kilometers (12.4 miles), according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

    Just minutes later, at 7:43 a.m. local time (2243 GMT Friday), an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale struck the same area. The earthquakes struck close to Mount Fuji, a volcano which last erupted in 1707 but is currently considered to be at a low risk of eruption.”
