Stories of devasting earthquakes continue to dominate headlines around the world, some with death counts reaching into the three-digit range, and with a repair price tag reaching into the seven-figure range. The latest striking off of Japan’s northern coast late Monday night local time, coming in at a magnitude of 7.6.
