Thanks.
“Hashikami Town” is the +5 quake.
I’ve never heard of that town. But I have never been to Japan. Very likely I never will be there.

That reminds me, I haven’t watched the latest episode of Monarch on Apple TV yet.
Seriously, I hope damage and injuries are very minimal.

I know the Japanese have skill and experience dealing with Tsunamis. But not much you can do about what is likely going to be a pretty huge one except get out of the way. Other places besides Japan will likely get hit too.
Prayers for those affected.

Japan Meteorological Agency just issued a rare warning for a potential mega-quake for two of the deep trench faults that run along the east coast of Honshu. They think this 7.7M quake might be a foreshock for a really big one.
That’s pretty scary.
