TOKYO (AP) — There's no word of any damage or injuries from the magnitude-5.5 earthquake that rattled Tokyo and its suburbs today.

It shook buildings and temporarily stopped trains. But the city's daily routine was barely interrupted. Trains resumed running in about ten minutes, after tracks were inspected.

Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone nations, and it's also among the best prepared.

Tokyo Electric Power says nothing unusual was observed at any of its nuclear plants, including the one that went into multiple meltdowns after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
