japan earthquake







A big earthquake hit Japan today. Early Thursday, Japan was jolted by a 6.7-magnitude earthquake in the same area where a 9.0-magnitude earthquake in March caused a destructive tsunami that claimed thousands of lives.
The 6.7 magnitude quake was located east coast of Japan, near Honshu, early Thursday morning.

The epicenter of the new Japan earthquake occurred near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, the same epicenter as the deadly March 11, 2011 earthquake.

The quake struck in many of the same areas that were hit hard by the March earthquake and tsunami that left more than 23,000 dead or missing in Japan,

Net income may decline to 270 billion yen ($3.4 billion) in the 12 months ending March 31 from 319.2 billion yen a year earlier, the Yokohama-based company said in a statement today.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency already warned residents of the possible tsunami.
