Beyonce had a late-night rendezvous with her husband Jay-Z in New York City on August X, arriving at a certain restaurant in the middle of the night (noon in China time). Beyonce had just finished her schedule in Japan and returned to the United States. This brief trip to Japan was almost a "near miss" for Beyonce. Joining Beyonce in the event held in Japan were Jessica Simpson and Beyonce's sister Solange. They all experienced an earthquake this time, which measured 6.6 on the Richter scale, considered a relatively high-level earthquake. No wonder Beyonce immediately sought comfort in her husband's arms upon returning to the U.S., to soothe her shaken nerves.
