Japan earthquake January 1, 2023

7.4 magnitude earthquake!! 5 meter wave tsunami warning along the coast has been issued! I hope everyone is ok 🙏

This one was massive! I’m still feeling the aftershocks almost an hour later. People in the area came out of their house to check if the neighbours were ok and looked up to the volcano. This is part of life in the ring of fire 🔥

No damage to the house 🏡🙏

Edit: this earthquake lasted more than 5 minutes and my video only shows a slice of my experience. After sitting tight for a while and judging the situation, I decided to leave the house as I felt it was safe to do so. Since I was ok, I wanted to check on the neighbors situation. I took what I needed from the kitchen, waited another moment to see if things were clear, and left the house when it felt safe.

Japan records the most earthquakes in the world every year and have been building earthquake proof structures for more than 1000 years. Japan spends a lot of effort on research, training, and education for earthquakes. They have simulators all through Japan to demonstrate what happens and how to respond.

Every country will have a different perspective based on the unique environment, history, building structures, facilities, infrastructure, and resources available.
