Japan earthquake today! 6.2 earthquake strikes Tokyo and Eastern Japan

#earthquake #japan #tokyo On Friday, May 26, 2023, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a earthquake occurred in eastern Tokyo, Japan. The quake struck at 7:03 pm, at a shallow depth of 40 km below the surface. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. A second report was later issued by United States Geological Survey, which listed it as a magnitude 6.2 earthquake as well.
