Moderately Strong Quake Hits Area Near Tokyo

TOKYO (Reuters) - A moderately strong earthquake measuring an estimated 5.3 on the Richter scale rattled a wide area about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo on Tuesday night, officials said.

The quake measured an ``Upper 5'' on the Japanese scale, meaning that it can cause heavy damage to poorly constructed buildings and concrete walls can be toppled.

Soon after the quake hit at 11:57 p.m. (10:57 EDT), trains in the area around the city of Shizuoka were halted and highways closed, but reports from the NHK television news office there said there were no immediate signs of any major damage
