Those poor Japanese

Here they go again.  Yet more trouble for them, as though they haven't got enough problems:

Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hits off Japan coast

TOKYO – Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning Thursday night nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast.

The Japan meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to one meter. The warning was issued for a coastal area already torn apart by last month's tsunami.

Officials say Thursday's quake was a 7.4-magnitude and hit 25 miles (40 kilometers) under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture. The quake that preceded last month's tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.

Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.

I hope some crazy, fundamentalist lunatics don't start spouting off about how the Japanese are "sinners", bringing this upon themselves.

And now for the aftershocks.
