Strong quake followed by 21 aftershocks of 4.0 magnitude leaves Japan helpless
A massive earthquake, measuring 7.6 in magnitude, struck central Japan, causing a series of seismic events with a total of 21 quakes above 4.0 magnitude, according to the Met Office. The earthquake, which recorded a seismic intensity of 7 on the Japanese scale, prompted national media to urge all residents to evacuate immediately to higher ground. Waves as high as 1.2 meters hit Wajima port in Ishikawa prefecture. The quake resulted in power outages for over 36,000 houses, and major highways near the epicentre were closed by the Traffic Authority. The situation remains critical with ongoing seismic activity.
