Sounds like Mother Nature hasn't finished yet either:

 

Panel: Aftershocks of over magnitude 7 may occur

 

A government panel of seismologists says major aftershocks from the March 11th earthquake could still occur in the sea off the coast of northeastern Japan.

 

At a meeting on Thursday, the government's Earthquake Research Committee examined the impact of the March quake on seismic activities in the country.

 

The panel said that magnitude-7 aftershocks or stronger could hit sea areas off the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan.

 

It said that in some sea areas close to the Japan Trench, major quakes accompanied by tsunami could occur.

 

The panel said the risk of earthquakes from some active faults in inland areas is higher than before. One fault straddles Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures. Two others are the fault between the western part of Tokyo and neighboring Saitama Prefecture, and the one that runs through Nagano Prefecture.

 

The panel chief, Katsuyuki Abe, called for continued caution, saying that although the number of tremors is declining nearly 3 months since the March disaster, aftershocks may occur anywhere.
