I think I’ll not move to Japan.
I am sitting here in Sasebo, Japan riding all these quakes out for the past few days. Another one just occurred a few minutes ago. Last nites 7.3 seems to have caused quite a bit of physical destruction. Alerts were going off at 0140 am of a Tsunami and that did not occur. On TV they are showing a huge land slide of a mountainous region that wiped out a highway. It appears that all of the destruction is near a river bed area. That is where many of the nine deaths occurred on Thursdays smaller 6.2 quake.
The USGS has a slightly different scale than the Japanese. This report is from the Chinese news agency so it’s likely reporting using the Japanese scale.
Looks like Vanuatu has had quite a few quakes lately.

Then this one near Burma.

Japan has had a total of four significant ones in the past day or so.
I like using this earthquake monitoring website.
