Powerful Earthquake Hits Off Southern Japan Triggering a Tsunami Advisory

Powerful Earthquake Hits Off Southern Japan Triggering a Tsunami Advisory

TOKYO — A powerful earthquake struck off Japan’s southern coast on Thursday, triggering a tsunami advisory that urged residents to stay away from the coastline. Nine people were injured, most of them slightly, but there were no reports of serious damage.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the quake registered magnitude 7.1 and was centered in waters off the eastern coast of Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu at a depth of about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles).

The quake most strongly shook Nichinan city and nearby areas in Miyazaki prefecture on Kyushu island.

The agency said tsunami waves of up to 50 centimeters (1.6 feet) were detected along parts of Kyushu’s southern coast and the nearby island of Shikoku about a half hour after the quake struck. The tsunami advisory was lifted from most coastlines except those along the Miyazaki prefecture.

Seismologists at the agency held an emergency meeting to analyze whether the quake had affected the nearby Nankai Trough, the source of past devastating earthquakes. They later issued an assessment that the potential for a future quake in the area from Kyushu to central Japan is higher than previously predicted. The agency said it will continue to closely watch movements of plates near the Nankai Trough.

That does not mean there’s an imminent danger of a big quake in the near future, but they urged residents on the coasts along the trough — which spans about 500 kilometers (310 miles) — to review their quake preparedness, University of Tokyo seismologist Naoshi Hirata, a member of an expert panel, told a joint news conference with JMA officials.

There is a 70-80% chance of a magnitude 8 or 9 quake stemming from the Nankai Trough within the next 30 years, Hirara said, adding that Thursday’s quake raises that probability even while the timing or exact location cannot be predicted.

The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said nine people were injured, most of them slightly when falling down or hit by objects in Thursday’s quake in Miyazaki and neighboring Kagoshima.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said officials were assessing possible injuries or serious damage, though none were immediately reported. He urged residents of the affected region to stay away from the coastline.

JMA Seismology Department official Shigeki Aoki warned that strong aftershocks could occur for about a week.

Japan’s NHK public television said windows were broken at the Miyazaki airport near the epicenter. The airport’s runway was temporarily closed for safety checks.

NHK showed dozens of people gathering at a designated hilltop evacuation area.

In Osaki in neighboring Kagoshima prefecture, concrete walls collapsed and a wooden house was damaged, but no injuries were reported.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority said all 12 nuclear reactors, including three that are currently operating, on Kyushu and Shikoku remained safe.

Earthquakes in areas with nuclear power plants have been a major concern since a massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Japan sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean, and is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries.

An earthquake on Jan. 1 in Japan’s north-central region of Noto left more than 240 people dead.

Japan is Warning of a 'Megaquake'

[hotnew-pt]

Houve um forte terremoto no sul do Japão: três pessoas ficaram feridas, mas não houve grandes danos #ÚltimasNotícias

Hot News Na tarde de quinta-feira, pouco antes das 10h00 em Itália, ocorreu um forte terramoto na costa de Nichinan, na parte oriental da ilha de Kyushu, no sul do Japão. Até ao momento não foram registados grandes danos, mas três pessoas ficaram feridas e alguns pequenos tsunamis, com menos de um metro de altura, atingiram a província de Miyazaki, em Kyushu, e a província de Kochi, na ilha de…

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture on Thursday, initially prompting a tsunami advisory for parts of the coast of Kyushu and Shikoku and for the Meteorological Agency to issue an alert warning of a further possible megaquake along the Nankai Trough area, off the east coast of Japan, for the first time.

Thursday’s earthquake registered a lower 6 on the seven-point Japanese seismic intensity scale, occurring at 4:43 p.m. at a depth of 30 kilometers, with its epicenter in the Hyuganada sea off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture.

A total of nine people were reported to have been injured in Kyushu’s Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures as of 7:30 p.m., according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. Among those, seven suffered minor injuries while the extent of injuries for the other two remains unclear.

Speaking at an emergency news conference, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said a landslide had been reported in the city of Shibushi in Kagoshima Prefecture.

At its own news conference following the quake, the Meteorological Agency cautioned that people in the affected areas should be on alert for earthquakes measuring up to lower 6 for the next week, especially over the next two or three days. In areas where tremors were strongly felt, the risk of buildings collapsing and of landslides had increased, the agency added, warning people to stay vigilant surrounding quake activity and rainfall.

Small waves were recorded in some areas. A 50-centimeter tsunami was recorded at Miyazaki Port at 5:14 p.m., a 40-cm wave reached Aburatsu Port on the Nichinan coast in Miyazaki at 5:23 p.m., and a 30-cm wave reached Tosashimizu in Kochi at 5:46 p.m. All tsunami advisories were lifted at 10 p.m.

After the earthquake, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida instructed authorities to share accurate information about the tsunami warning and any damage, urging residents to take necessary precautions to find shelter.

The government set up a task force under the helm of disaster management minister Yoshifumi Matsumura, Kishida told reporters Thursday evening.

Kyushu Electric Power said there was no impact from the earthquake on its Sendai and Genkai nuclear plants, which are located in the city of Satsumasendai in Kagoshima Prefecture and the Higashimatsuura district in Saga Prefecture, respectively.

Shikoku Electric Power said no shaking was detected at its Ikata Nuclear Power Plant in Ehime Prefecture — the only nuclear plant on Shikoku Island — adding that the plant’s Unit 3 has been shut down for routine inspections.

Several domestic flights scheduled to depart Miyazaki Airport after 5:30 p.m. were canceled. “The shaking was quite intense and lasted around 30 seconds,” a clerk at the airport told NHK. “We were told that some windows have shattered.”

As of shortly before 8 p.m., several local train lines across Kyushu were still suspended because of the earthquake.

Kyushu Railway Co. (JR Kyushu) reported suspension of some train services on the Nippo Line, the Miyazaki Airport Line, the Nichinan Line, the Hisatsu Line and the Kitto Line as well as delays elsewhere on those lines. It also noted ongoing delays on the Kagoshima Line and the Kyushu Shinkansen. The Kyushu Shinkansen line resumed operations following the earthquake at around 5:25 p.m., media reported.

The Meteorological Agency’s alert warning about a possible large earthquake around the seismically significant Nankai Trough area, issued later Thursday, was its first ever. It is believed that the chance of a major earthquake occurring in the Nankai Trough is relatively higher than usual, according to the agency.

“I urge everyone to check information from the government, go back to basic disaster preparedness and get ready to evacuate immediately in the event of an earthquake,” Kishida said in reference to the risk of a Nankai Trough earthquake, urging people to refrain from spreading misinformation.

On Friday, Kishida is scheduled to fly to Nagasaki to attend a ceremony to commemorate the 79th anniversary of the atomic bombing, and from there to head directly to Kazakhstan for a four-day tour of Central Asia. Kishida said he will decide whether to cancel these engagements or take further measures according to the developments of the next few hours.
