That would be this:

http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/201106...91-230651.html

Note that this is on the Japanese intensity scale, which measures local effect rather than estimating the intensity at the hypercentre. Scroll down and it mentions the magnitude.

This page http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/quake_singendo_index.html gives a chart with the Magnitude as well. Seems there was a 6.7 there this morning, but sometimes these things get updated.

ETA: By Japanese standards, 6.7 is sod all.

Sod all? Is that good or bad? (Belongs in Sayings from the old country thread.)

Ah, prease to excuse, honourable sir. "Sod all" is to mean "berry rittle".
