This time the strong earthquake in Fukishima did not trigger the tsunami

Ten years after that Fukushima struck by the magnitude 9 earthquake of 11 March 2011, followed by a devastating tsunami and the collapse of nuclear plants, today's strong earthquake in almost the same spot hit with a magnitude 7,1, considered very strong by the standards of earthquakes.
Fortunately there are no tsunami warnings and giant waves that were seen ten years ago. According to the Kyodo news agency, this earthquake caused injuries to dozens of people. The earthquake left hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity and disrupted rail services, with reports of a landslide blocking a highway in Fukishima.

A relationship at our service of monitoring of earthquakes called the earthquake "by far the largest in recent years" and reported severe tremors. Other reports have listed objects falling off the shelves, broken glass, animals reacting, and alarms that go off. The earthquake woke many people and was felt in most of central and northern Japan, including Katsushika, Kawasaki, Misawa, Nagoya, Sapporo, Tokyo, Yokosuka and many other locations.

While the earthquake was alarming, there is a tremendous relief that it did not repeat itself ten years ago with a tsunami, thousands of deaths and enormous damage. Many aftershocks were reported, but of less intensity than the main event.
