Apparently Tokyo was hit by a 6.6 in the last hour or so.
Earthquakes today are blue. Last hour are red.
In other news: Apparently a very large volcano in Indonesia erupted a few hours after all this started.

2131: Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan has just announced that residents living within 10km (6.2 miles) of the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear station must evacuate their homes, according to the Kyodo news agency. Engineers are trying to fix the cooling system of one of the plant's reactors, which was damaged by the earthquake. The authorities had earlier told some 3,000 residents living within 3km (1.9 miles) to leave.Apprently they're going to release some radioactive vapour to help. Hope the consequences of this aren't too bad.#
2132: The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said radiation may already have been released at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant.
edit:
edit: Ticker on BBC News via AFP stating the radiation levels are now 1000x above normal. Please, please, please be wrong or a bad translation.#
2139: Radiation levels at the damaged Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant are continuing to rise. The Jiji Press news agency says the levels are eight times above normal. Its report also cites a ministry official as saying there is a "possibility of a radioactive leak".Comment

The sun has been up for a while. Now it's time to realise just how bad the damage is.
News from the power plants isn't too good. But it looks like they have it under control, for now.Comment

BBC keeps showing footage of a city that 99% of the buildings are no longer there. They overlay an image of how it looked every few seconds. Estimates are 10,000 people unaccounted for.
