The Japan Meterological Agency said this was not the big Tokai Earthquake expected to destroy Tokyo and vicinity (duhh?) nor was it the prelude to it. Wow - are we now expected to feel safe? These are the same people who cannot even get their predictions on the rainy…

Aren't food establishments supposed to give refunds anyway if a customer takes food back and demands a refund?
