www.undergroundworldnews.com <br />A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the Japanese coast Saturday, geologists said, shaking buildings in Tokyo and setting off car alarms, an AFP correspondent reported. <br /> <br />Despite the huge power of the quake, there was no risk of a tsunami, The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre reported. <br /> <br />Residential buildings swayed for around a minute as the quake built in intensity at around 8.30pm (1130 GMT). <br /> <br />There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. <br /> <br />The epicentre was 676 kilometres (422 miles) below the Earth's surface. It was centred on a remote spot in the Pacific Ocean around 870 kilometres south of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said. <br /> <br />Yoshiyuki Sasamoto, who runs a traditional guest house on Chichijima, one of the closest inhabited places to the epicentre, told NHK the shaking had been violent. <br /> <br />http://news.yahoo.com/quake-shakes-bu...
