Japanese researchers say a massive earthquake could occur off a peninsula to the east of Tokyo, in an area separate from the one that triggered the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.
The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan reported to a government panel on Wednesday that analysis of global positioning system data shows that the tip of the Boso Peninsula has been moving about 3 centimeters north each year since 1997.
The authority says quake-causing strain may be building up in the area, where a marine tectonic plate slides under a continental plate.
The situation is similar around the Miura Peninsula to the south of Tokyo, near Yokohama.
Pressure there was released in the 1923 earthquake, but the area off Boso Peninsula has not had a major quake for at least 300 years.
Researcher Takuya Nishimura says an earthquake occurring in this zone could have a magnitude of around 8. He says the authority will continue its analysis to increase the accuracy of its estimations.

All weather links here — use to monitor severe as it is developing :
Multiple lines of storms are breaking out from south Texas, through Oklahoma, Kansas, northwest through Wyoming…
Also Northeast from Kansas through Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan…
Eastward through Ohio — and then on the southeast coast we also see tropical storm Beryl getting ready to come ashore along the coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
In the western states… Utah, Nevada, Montana, Idaho — we see snow / sleet detected … and low temperatures at about 32F / 0C …. out ahead of this storm.. in the midwest .. approx 85-90F/ 30-34C .
This is a huge temperature difference… and is already resulting in damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes.
Be aware of the current storms, and the rest of the coming system…
Also, be aware the frequency outbreak (circle sweep / HAARP rings) are appearing now (1145pm 5/26/2012 going into 12am of 5/27 )…
State and towns names to watch for the next 72 hours for damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes:
North Dakota = Mayville

This most recent 6.5M (now downgraded to a 6.2M) earthquake in the north Arctic — east of Greenland — Mid-Atlantic ridge — Norwegian sea….. shows the movement picking up in pace.
Italy, Bulgaria, and south of Australia — all areas we don’t see too much earthquake activity….. plus add in the swarming of earthquakes NORTH of coast of Honsu (Hokkaido)… and add in the earthquake activity in South/Central America —- we are on a heightened earthquake alert yet once again.
This seems to happen in cycles every month or so recently…. so be prepared for additional 6.0M to 8.0M earthquakes in the near future (two weeks or less around the ring of fire areas prone already —- Japan, Baja, Oaxaca Mexico, off the coast of Oregeon… along the edge of the north American craton —- too many areas to name almost.
Point being, we should all have a plan to be prepared in the eventuality of an earthquake occurring… even east coast USA and midwest USA — as well as central south Europe still.
