Does anyone know if this also affects South Korea?

Never felt anything in SK

Thank you for this update.

I was told that some people in Busan, the Korean city nearest to Japan, felt the earthquake and even felt dizzy.

Given it’s barely even felt outside of Kyushu (JMA 3, the dark blue dots, is “dishes may rattle, some people walking outside notice) that seems unlikely.

ChrisRR•3m ago

Dishes may rattle feels like such a japanese way to describe it

7.1 seems to mean non resistant buildings may collapse.

sevenzero•19m ago

Yea seems pretty bad given its on the higher end of the scale... I might be naive but I hope nobody died

markdown•12m ago

It's Japan though. They don't have non-resistant buildings.

Shit hope everyone is ok.

minraws•18m ago

Tldr; Seems like major cities didn't get hit by the earthquake at 7 scale.

Hoping for zero casualities.

minraws•16m ago

Apparently there is a risk for tsunami so Japanese govt has issued a further alert. Hope it isn't anything too bad either

Similar strength and location as the 2016 one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Kumamoto_earthquakes

Was looking at webcams here (https://tokyo.fyi) but realized this is further south.

In parts of Kumamoto Prefecture, it registered 7 on the Japanese shindo (seismic intensity) scale, which reflects the amount of ground shaking at a particular location. The shindo is a better indicator of the likely amount of damage than the magnitude is. A shindo of 7 is extremely strong [1].

Ten minutes ago (at around 17:15 p.m. Japan time), NHK was reporting that there were many emergency calls coming in from Uki City, where shindo 7 was recorded, but that the extent of the damage or injuries was not yet known.

There have also been many aftershocks, including some strong ones, and tsunami warnings.

I'm living in the South of Japan, it was a 4 intensity where I am (about 90km) from the epicenter. Luckily there was only some light shaking and nothing fell over here.

Hope the areas around you were just as lucky, thanks for the update!

Kumamoto is barely finished rebuilding from the last quake, you can still see cracks in structures as you drive down the road. This is really horrible; not to mention the city is already beginning to depopulate as the youth move north to Fukuoka.
