Was just reading about this. 

 

Residents in the coastal Noto area in Ishikawa prefecture were asked to "evacuate immediately to higher ground," national broadcaster NHK said.

NHK said waves as high as 5m had reached Noto.

Authorities have also issued tsunami warnings for neighbouring Niigata and Toyama prefectures, warning that waves there could reach 3m.

Public television flashed "EVACUATE" in big letters, urging residents to flee to higher ground despite the winter weather.

 

South Korea's meteorological agency has warned that tsunami waves up to 0.3m could hit the eastern coast of the country between 18:29 to 19:17 local time ....

Many big aftershocks too. Almost 3 pages on my app.

It was a long shake. I was 300 km away from the epicentre.

Another one. Intensity 7 😱. That’s the highest in the Japanese scale. 
 

The notifications on my app are non-stop. I’ve never had this before.

The Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo 7) is the maximum intensity in the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale, covering earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 and up.^[15]At Intensity 7, it becomes impossible to move at will.^[13] The intensity was made in the wake of the 1948

It looks like that has been downgraded to a mag 4.3 Intensity 3. Phew! Still a lot of aftershocks

And I grumble about potholes...

Large, extremely shallow aftershocks continue to shake the region.

What a week for my daughter to visit Japan!
Fortunately, she is on the south side.

I'm in Osaka and I'm not feeling tremors any longer. Only the big one yesterday

This report says thousands of homes were / are destroyed.

Sadly, at Haneda Airport in Tokyo yesterday, two planes collided. All passengers on the JAL flight escaped the fire on board. But 5 of the 6 on the smaller Coastguard plane were killed. It was bringing rescue supplies to the earthquake area of Ishikawa. 😢

Death toll is now 55. Fires hit quake zone as rescuers race to reach survivors https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67865502

 

[hatcheckgirl]

And….. it’s still happening. Aftershocks with intensity 5+ and mag 5.5 just now 😢

 

Stay safe friends!

On Japanese tv, they are saying 62 people got killed in the earthquake.

 

Edit : live update, 64 now...

Japan can’t get a break. First the earthquake, now the airplane crash. It seems, fortunately, that it didn’t affect the nuclear reactors like the last EQ (2011) did

Big quake in Morocco.  On land, but 88 miles down.

 

 

[Loopy]

At least the GB Update tells us none of the friends were killed in that January 1 Japan earthquake. But a lot of destruction 😢😢😢

What's especially sad is that the earthquakes, floods, drought, snowfall, hurricanes, tornadoes keep happening in the same places, causing desolation on top of desolation with almost no reprieve.

Yesterday, a 6.1 hit Guatemala.

 

Today, a deep 6.5 struck in Brazil.

 

Large, deep quakes often lead to even larger, shallower quakes in the region.

 

As this Volcanoes and Earthquakes app shows, in the past 12 months, there have been 180 quakes in the 6.0 + range.

 

15 of them were  7.0 +.

 

When they occur on land, the nations are, literally, being shook.

Strong, shallow quake strikes on land in China.  Doesn't appear to be in a heavily populated area, though.

Today, 2/09/24 , there was a 4.6 centered at Malibu California.   I felt it.  I'm 115 miles away.   Felt it as plain as day.
