Japan rocked by major earthquake, Malaysia ?

Is godzilla behind all this bloody mayhems. Or is it the consequence of mother nature angriness. As being struck by the Taifu No 4 (台風4号)which is reportedly to be the strongest since the past few years, Japan has been rocked subsequently by earthquake.

An earthquake has struck central Japan, killing at least six people, flattening buildings and triggering a fire at a nuclear power plant.Hundreds of people were injured when the 6.8-magnitude tremor struck the Niigata area.It has been reported that the fire at the nuclear plant has been extinguished, and there was no release of radiation or damage to the reactors.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has flown to the affected region.He cut short a trip to the south-western city of Nagasaki, where he was campaigning ahead of forthcoming upper house elections.

A report said, about 2,000 people had been evacuated from their homes, while tens of thousands are reported to have no power or running water.Older buildings, many of them with wooden walls and heavy tile roofs, appear to have suffered the most damage in the earthquake, which also cracked roads and buckled bridges. The region has subsequently suffered several strong aftershocks.Hospital officials said about 300 people had been brought in for treatment of injuries including broken bones, cuts and bruises.

'Violent shaking'
Skyscrapers reportedly swayed in Tokyo, more than 200km, from the earthquake's epicentre in the Sea of Japan.
Earthquakes are common in Japan, which is situated in one of the world's most seismically active areas, and the country regularly holds safety drills.

In 1995, a magnitude 7.3 tremor hit the city of Kobe, killing more than 6,400 people.
As for the record, the disastrous catastrophe caused by earthquake showed very high significant number of casualties than people died caused by Godzilla.
