外国人の友達に拡散希望The M7.5 quake in northern Japan at 23:15 last night fortunately did not generate extremely high tsunami (only 0.6m) but it caused a couple of fires and blackouts. 110,000 people have temporarily evacuated in prep for aftershocks.
All tsunami warnings and alerts have been rescinded after last night’s earthquake in northern Japan. But everyone is asked to be prepared for likely aftershocks which can possibly be even larger than the first quake.
外国人の友達に拡散希望: the highest tsunami so far was 50 cm high. So not bad. But the gov’t cautions that the alert will be in effect for several more hours before they have a full evaluation of the situation. Please stay away from rivers and the coast tonight.
外国人の友達に拡散希望: so far, no reports of major damage, but there is one report of a fire in Aomori City that may have been caused by the quake. Tsunami heights so far 30-40 cm.
We felt the quake in Tokyo too. Spooky. Very widely felt.
外国人の友達に拡散希望: the gov’t announces that tsunami have been detected at various point off the coast of northeastern Japan (Tohoku) between 20 and 70 km offshore. I’m sure how significant this event bro is but it doesn’t sound good. Avoid rivers and the coast.
外国人の友達に拡散希望: Tsunami of various heights (40cm and higher) have already hit the coast. More waves are anticipated. Several tsunami have detected 30km off the coast possibly heading toward northern Japan. Unknown height.
外国人の友達に拡散希望: Now calling it a M7.6 quake at 23:15 on Dec. 8 Japan time. Tsunami generated up to three meters in height. Evacuate areas near rivers and the coast.
外国人の友達に拡散願望: Large M7.2 quake aim northern Japan. Aomori and southeastern Hokkaido are now being hit by tsunami of up to three meters in height.
Gov’t is urging everyone to head to higher ground and avoid the coast
