Megaquake Japan Earthquake on Thursday - Massive 7.0 Magnitude
An interesting video describes Megaquake Japan Earthquake on Thursday - Massive 7.0 Magnitude. This powerful earthquake hit Northern Japan. There was no tsunami danger. This happened beneath the Kuril Islands (between Hokkaido and Kamchatka). This was felt widely across northern Japan. There were no reports of serious damage or injuries. It happened from deep below the ocean.
These are the Big 10: Japan's Worst Earthquakes in History:
01) 1923 Great Kanto earthquake - about 142,800 deaths
02) 1498 Meio Nankaido earthquake - about 31,000 deaths
03) 1293 Kamakura earthquake - about 23,024 deaths
04) 1896 Meiji-Sanriku earthquake and tsunami - about 22,066 deaths
05) 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami - about 16,000+ deaths
06) 1792 Unzen earthquake and tsunami - about 15,448 deaths
07) 1771 Great Yaeyama tsunami - about 13,486 deaths
08) 1891 Mino-Owari earthquake - about 7,273 deaths
09) 1855 Ansei Edo arthquake - about 6,641 deaths
10) 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake - about 6,434 deaths
The fact that there were no reports of damage or injuries is is serendipity (the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way).
