It is actually six whole minutes, the moon will hide the sun. No one living on earth as on date has never experienced this kind of lengthy gravitational pull among moon-sun-earth. it will have its effect may or may not be visble.

There is connection between solar eclipse & Tsunami or earthquake.The theory is that during solar eclipse moon has sun's added pull on the earth's Tectonic plates ( since both are in line ). This causes plates to shift upwards. A Little extra pull causes lifted plate to move over its neighboring plate causing earthquake & unusual high waves. There is a warning of 6 magnitude quake in Japan tomorrow around 1500 hrs local time
