Strong magnitude 7 earthquake shakes Japan, triggering tsunami advisory
KTLA ^ | Mar 20, 2021 / 06:33 AM PDT

The U.S. Geological Survey put the strength at magnitude 7.0 and depth at 54 kilometers (33.5 miles). The shaking started just before 6:10 p.m.

The quake was centered off the coast of Miyagi prefecture, in the country’s rugged northeast, which was heavily damaged during the huge earthquake and tsunami of 2011 that left more than 18,000 people dead.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued an advisory for a tsunami up to 1 meter (yard) in height for Miyagi prefecture immediately after the quake, but lifted it about 90 minutes later.

Officials there said there were no immediate reports of damage.

The strong temblor caused a temporary blackout in some areas and suspended bullet train services in the area, according to the East Japan Railway Co.

Journalists. As opposed to a ‘weak/mild magnitude 7’ erfquake? LOL! Hopefully no tsunami. Hmmmm. Is this another assault on asians by white suprema-cysts? What’s pedo joe’s take?

So the damaged nuke plants will be affected again. They just had a big earth quake near that a short time ago. And it did cause more damage to the reactor containment.

Dutchinese predicted this!

Wait, he didn’t.

He was “expecting” it though.

I was performing (playing banjo) at Tokyo Disneyland in 1986 when a 6.8 hit. Trees were flopping, Tom Sawyer’s rivers was splashing and people were falling. I ripped into Foggy Mountain Breakdown!

I think Ralph Macchio is a Republican, and he’s actually still married to a high school sweetheart.
