After a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred on the night of the 13th in the offshore of Fukushima Prefecture in Japan, aftershocks of magnitude 5 or more occurred three times in nearby waters.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency on the 15th, an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred at 9:26 degrees north latitude and 141.6 degrees east longitude off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture on that night. The epicenter was 50 km deep, and there was no fear of a tsunami, the Meteorological Agency said.

In some areas of Fukushima and Miyazaki Prefectures, most of the people in the room feel the shaking, and the shaking of’Jindo 3′, which is the degree to which the tableware on the shelf makes a sound, was detected.

Japan’s seismic rating,’seismic intensity’, is an index that indicates the relative strength of earthquake-induced shaking at a specific location, and is different from the Richter scale, which indicates the absolute energy level of an earthquake.

Earlier, at 4:31 pm on the 14th, an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred at 37.5 degrees north latitude and 141.5 degrees east longitude off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture.

In some areas of Fukushima Prefecture, most people were surprised by this earthquake, and a shaking of “intensity 4” was detected, which is a level in which objects such as lights and hanging objects shake greatly, and objects placed in a state of lack of stability may fall.

At 3:25 a.m. on the same day, an earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred at 37.5 degrees north latitude and 142.5 degrees east longitude off the coast of Iwate Prefecture in the north of Fukushima Prefecture.

On the other hand, a 7.3 earthquake occurred in the sea off Fukushima Prefecture at 11:8 pm on the 13th, and the largest shaking of the 6 rivers in Fukushima Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture was observed.

In the 6th grade, the shaking is so severe that you can move only by crawling.
