Exactly one month after the devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake on March 11, Japan was struck by another strong quake which registered magnitude 7.1 on the Richter Scale on April 11, 2011 at 5:16 p.m., local time. (Update: magnitude downgraded to 6.6)
The epicenter was located at 38 km (24 miles) W (260°) of Iwaki, Honshu, Japan. It has a depth of 13.1 km. A tsunami warning has reportedly been issued. Reports say a half-meter high wave is expected at the Fukushima prefecture. (Update: tsunami warning lifted!)
Four days ago, Japan was also hit by a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake which killed 4 and injured 100 people.
There has been no reports of damage from the most recent quake.

ReplyDeleteYeah right now, the nippon country it's still suffering in many ways the destruction that the tsunami caused by the earth quake left behind and as I hear many people are still living in the infected areas of the nuclear plant in fukushima.
