The earthquake magnitude was revised up to a 7.7

No major tsunami is expected, local media reported initial waves were recorded as high as 40cm. The Japan Meteorological Agency forecasted up to 3m (10ft) waves.

I don't believe this earthquake is a big deal. Large earthquakes (M7.0+) happen in Japan several times a year, and given this happened in the middle of the ocean, I don't expect any major damage.

It somehow bothers me that it's an american government site that reports this.

Because?

Here you have the same earthquake, but reported by Japan: https://www.data.jma.go.jp/multi/quake/quake_detail.html?eve...

As a European, I feel fine that American and Japanese governments report on this.

Japan has their own communication platforms for this, they're not relying on a US government site. I'm in Japan on vacation, and I got notified of the earthquake within a minute of it happening on the NERV app, which is a common disaster alerting app here.

The creators of this app either didn't watch Evangelion or are huge fans. Hard to say which.
pezezin•14m ago
Evangelion is extremely popular in Japan, everybody and their dog knows it, so it is obviously the second option. From the official app website, https://nerv.app/en/

> The name and logo of "NERV" are used with the explicit permission of khara Inc., the copyright holder of the "Evangelion" series, and Groundworks Corporation, which manages the rights to the series.

Japan also obviously also monitors this.

https://nerv.app/en/

This kind of data is actually shared by governments with each other as well.

Science has no borders, much less disasters.

The US monitors things like this because tsunami danger to the west coast is a real if remote possibility.

Well you could read the japanese reports, but they'd be in japanese

I live in Aomori (Northernmost prefecture of Honshu) and we got the warning before the earthquake arrived by all the cellphones in the office going crazy at the same time. It was kind of funny, because we have a lot of new guys here who have never been to Japan before and it was their first earthquake ever xD
