Unless I missed an update, they’re calling it a 6.2 now.

That’s a decent sized quake, but it’s not a major one.

Hopefully there won’t be too much damage from it.

Depends on how long it shakes. And the aftershocks.

NHK was going wall to wall with it, but it doesn’t seem to have caused much damage in Kanazawa.

Epicenter in the sea off of Ishikawa . They were lucky , unlike we here in Kumamoto who had two 7+ quakes within 30 hours seven years ago and the epicenters were within 5 miles from where we live .

FYI the B-29s weren't able to fly that far NW from the Marianas to bomb the Noto Peninsula or any of the major cities around there like Kanazawa and Toyama.

I believe that part of the grading of a quake is related to
longevity. I may be wrong on that.
