Sept. 20 (UPI) -- A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck early Thursday the coast of Japan and 228 miles from a nuclear power plant that had a meltdown from a 2011 quake and subsequent tsunami. The temblor hit at 2:37 a.m. in Japan, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was centered about 6 miles deep in the Pacific Ocean, 174 miles east-south of Kamaishi and about 315 miles northeast of Tokyo.https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2017/09/20/62-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-Japanese-coast/2551505943678/You can read more at the US Geological Survey site: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000arxv#executive

The Fukushima plant looks ordinary on the cams:
Of course, contaminated water "leaks" aren't visible on the cams.
