8.5 Quake just hit east of Japan.

Fortunately, some reports have stated that no one is seriously injured.  

"The earthquake struck at 18:30 local time (11:30 GMT). Buildings in the capital swayed for almost a minute as the quake built in intensity. There are no reports of serious damage. No tsunami alert was issued. "
