"1707 Hōei earthquake

The 1707 Hōei earthquake, which occurred at 14:00 local time on October 28, 1707, was the second largest in Japanese history[1] until the 2011 Sendai earthquake[2]. It caused moderate to severe damage throughout southwestern Honshu, Shikoku and southeastern Kyūshū.[3] The earthquake and the resulting destructive tsunami, caused more than 5,000 casualties.[4] This event ruptured all of the segments of the Nankai megathrust simultaneously, the only earthquake known to have done this, with an estimated magnitude of 8.6 ML. It may also have triggered the last eruption of Mount Fuji some 49 days later"
