20-01-2005 Update:
The 19th sees the start of an upswing in the number of 5+ quakes striking on or around the pacific plate.
The "wait and see" approach seems to have shed some new light on the issue. Two quakes measuring 5.3 and 6.5 on the richter scale occured within hours of each other.
(See table below)
The second quake generated a Tsunami warning for Japan's coastal areas.
The Tsunami warning was reversed after the early warning system in Kobe detected only a 12" (304mm) increase in sea level as a result of the Honshu quake.
