First one we could feel all the way down here in Kumamoto .
Didnt they just announce recenlty that they wanted to start up the Fukushima Nuclear plant that was practically a nuclear disaster after am earthquake?
At what magnitude is an earthquake newsworthy?
Asking for a friend. lol
Bad enough to get NHK to go wall to wall for maybe two hours, just returned to regular programming. I haven’t heard yet from people in Matsue or our sister city of Imabari, but it doesn’t look like a lot of lasting damage.

Must 1000 people die in order to make it newsworthy? lol
Depends on how close you are to the epicenter
Basically, Hiroshima - far southern end of the big island (Honshu).
Yes . This coming April will be the 10th anniversary of the two giant quakes we had down here in Kumamoto 2 weeks after we moved into our new house !
The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes (Japanese: 平成28年熊本地震, Hepburn: Heisei 28-nen Kumamoto jishin) were a series of earthquakes,[2] including a magnitude 7.0 mainshock which struck at 01:25 JST on April 16, 2016 (16:25 UTC on April 15) beneath Kumamoto City of Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu Region, Japan, at a depth of about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles),[8] and a foreshock earthquake with a magnitude 6.2 at 21:26 JST (12:26 UTC) on April 14, 2016, at a depth of about 11 kilometres (6.8 miles).[4]
