After a strong earthquake of 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. The epicenter was 50 km deep, and there was no fear of a tsunami, the Meteorological Agency said.

In this earthquake, in some areas of Fukushima Prefecture and Miyazaki Prefecture, most people in the room felt shaking, and a shaking of “Jindo 3” was detected, which is the degree to which the dishes on the shelves make a sound.

Japan’s seismic grade’seismic intensity’ is an index that shows the relative strength of earthquake-induced shaking in 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, the earthquake caused most people to be surprised, and hanging objects such as lamps to shake greatly, and a vibration of’intensity 4′, which is a level in which objects placed in a state of lack of stability may fall.

At 3:25 am 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 in Fukushima Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture, the largest shaking of the 6 river was observed.

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