Andie Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 44,000 are evacuating due to unstable buildings, fear of more quakes, and volcanic eruption. Amazing situation there. Hard to say what will happen as the island is very volcanic. "There are also concerns about volcanic activity in the wake of the quake. The island of Kyushu, where the earthquake happened, is a highly volcanic area. A level 2 warning – meaning people should not approach a volcano’s crater – has been in place for Asosan in Kumamoto prefecture on the island since November 2015"http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/15/japan-earthquake-thousands-evacuated-volcanoes-aftershocks Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

One major after shock was 7.0 Death toll climbing to 32. Information is understandably difficult to get out. most buildings are damaged to some degree with many unstable and dangerous.
