Earthquake research

Here is what I believe to be the correct info about the earthquake I felt in June:

Magnitude 4.6 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN


Friday, June 24, 2005 at 13:08:27 UTC
Friday, June 24, 2005 at 10:08:27 PM local time at epicenter
Depth 40 kilometers
Felt at Misawa. Recorded (3 JMA) in Ibaraki; (2 JMA) in Chiba and Tochigi; (1 JMA) in Fukushima, Gumma, Saitama and Tokyo Prefectures

And today's earthquake...
