Apparently, it was a false alarm caused by a software bug in a geological monitor. This evening's top news story showed 2 officials from Japan's Geological Ministry apologizing profusely for the mishap. "The bug has been patched," they reported.
I certainly hope so. I plan on filing a claim to pay for new underwear since I crapped mine this morning. Japan at least owes me that much.
