Tsunami warning in Japan after strong earthquake
A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the country's central region on Monday.

I live in western Japan, and felt this earthquake even here - it lasted as long as the 311 Tohoku quake, and an NHK news announcer was screaming for people in the Noto area to flee to higher ground because of the tsunami.
I had to watch another station because that woman was just yelling into the mic nonstop. I understand, but for someone watching from Saitama it was too much.
Thankfully, the warning was overblown. One wave hit the breakwater in Noto, but it wasn't as big as they were expecting. More damage was done by a gas fire inside the city. And I think they're trying to locate some people after a few buildings with old clay-shingled roofs collapsed.
Crazy, hope you're safe and please do keep us updated.
Wait, wait, wait. Tokyo is in the east. Are you trying to fool us into thinking people live outside of Tokyo?
Way to go 2024...

The people after each 2020: 😲

The news (I’m watching TV now) is still warning people to evacuate, showing it in big letters and with exclamation points, and in English along with Japanese, so the threat isn’t over yet.
