the Earth is physically unstable now. everyone needs to be prepared. too much man made crap is distressing the equilibrium in the world.

mud huts dont kill people very often when they collapse in quakes, lots of people live in the mountain and the jungle so they should be ok.

Probably the most backward nation in the pacific so may take time to establish how much damage or injuries if any.

There was a decent size on in Southern Nagano at 1:03 p.m. this afternoon (magnitude 5, frequency 4) which could be felt over a wide swath of the nation. I felt it here in Osaka, but it was only a frequency of 1.

Seems there happening all over the place. I hope everyone in Papua New Guinea is okay.

Saying the deep depth has no effect on a tsunami just doesnt make sense. For some reason Im always watching the depths of these things, like that Nagano one was at 50km, thats by my description of one to watch. Around 10km well youll feel it quickly, just seems like rippling out, but if its big there is not much time for covering yourself. 50 to around 150, means to me there is movement happening somewhere, and somewhere has to give, Much deeper like 200-300 is when you dont need too much concern-or its a real fluke. But Im no expert just a unadjusted to rattles foreigner in earthquake happy Japan
