5.3 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Near Fukushima Nuclear Facility

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

A 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit early Friday morning at the nuclear facility which suffered catastrophic meltdowns during the 2011 tsunami in Japan.

Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Company said they observed no abnormality in radiation after the quake according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo News.

The quake struck at a depth of 13 miles about 110 miles northeast of Tokyo.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered TEPCO to scrap all six nuclear reactors at the site and concentrate on controlling radioactive water that is flowing through containment cracks into the ocean. Plant officials have admitted that the radioactive water has been flowing into the ocean for almost two years.

Japan lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”.
