06:14 UTC : NOAA reports that :
…A STRONG EARTHQUAKE HAS OCCURRED BUT A TSUNAMI IS NOT
EXPECTED ALONG THE CALIFORNIA/ OREGON/ WASHINGTON/
BRITISH COLUMBIA OR ALASKA COASTS…
06:12 UTC : Japan JMA seismological agency is reporting a magnitude of 6.8 at a depth of 20 km.
06:09 UTC : WAPMERR, the theoretical Earthquake Loss Estimate engine confirms our own opinion that there will be no injured or deaths based on this earthquake.
06:09 UTC :2,832,000 people will have felt a moderate shaking, 6,0067,000 will experience a light shaking and nearly 40 million people a weak shaking.
06:07 UTC : The earthquake will certainly be well felt in Tokyo
06:07 UTC : Although a tsunami advisory is in place, the shaking of this earthquake will be strong but probably not damaging as the epicenter is at 60 km from the coast.
06:04 UTC : The earthquake region (strongest felt is) : FUKUSHIMA-KEN OKI
06:02 UTC : A Tsunami advisory in in place for the IWAKI coast : The max. expected wave height is 0.5 meter
06:01 UTC : Although this is an extremely strong earthquake, the JMA intensity data is revealing (only) a -5 result, which means probably NOT damaging.
