Some footages from this last earthquake. I think I is very interesting to look at them because you can see how people react during an earthquake. I hope everyone is safe.

HONG KONG – A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of the Pacific Ocean island of Vanuatu late Thursday, April 14, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
The quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles) some 86 kilometers (53 miles) away from the town of Port Orly, USGS said. There was no immediate tsunami warning.
It was the 4th quake to hit the region in about a week, with a 6.9-magnitude earthquake striking off Vanuatu's Vanua Lava island last Thursday.
Vanuatu is part of the "Ring of Fire," a zone of tectonic activity around the Pacific that is subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. – Rappler.com

USGS lists it as a 7.0 but it' high nonetheless. It was noted on the wattsupwiththat website that the Kyushu hosts Tambora-grade (VEI-7) volcanoes, which can be devastating if an eruption were to happen.
EDIT: In september 2015

The current activity is very close to Mount Aso (see attached file)

It's getting confusing! What I gather from the news reports is that there were two big ones in Japan on Thursday, 6.4 and 5.9, and 24 hours later another one of 7.1!
Last news about earthquakes, one in Japan 7 or more.
Latest from Dutchsinse and his predictions for where the quakes may hit next - he's accurate quite often and tracks them rather diligently; for example he noted the Vanuata quake was something like 10 minutes after the Japan quake on Thursday.
He's not making any predictions of any huge quakes at the moment though. And if the solar stream has any effect, S0 states it is quietening down too, though it was still in the mid to low range in his most recent video.

Mount Aso (close to Kumamoto) erupted: https://www.rt.com/news/339788-japan-volcano-eruption-quakes/
Hopefully it stays at a small-scale level.
