Moderate Quakes hit Tokyo as Japan Preps for Mega-Quake: "Slow-Quake" Precursor Underway at Nankai Trough. Death-Toll Estimates top 320K

10 prefectures predict more deaths in Nankai Trough quake

SHIZUOKA – If a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake hits along the Nankai Trough off central and western Japan, it and its tsunami could claim more than 300,000 lives, trigger an eruption of Mount Fuji and turn millions of people into refugees, prefectural and local governments predict.

Shizuoka Prefecture issued a forecast Friday that such a horrendous event would cause up to ¥29 trillion in economic damage, render 1.31 million of its 3.75 million people homeless and leave 600,000 of them short of food, water and medicine.

for more. this is very interesting.

So are they expecting another huge quake sometime soon? How did they come to that conclusion?

New study just released yesterday:

Earthquakes in Tokyo will kill an estimated 23,000 and Nankai will kill 320,000

Another massive earthquake is expected to hit Japan, when a 9.0-magnitude earthquake with an epicenter in the Nankai Trough off central and western Japan will cause about ¥220 trillion in damage ( 200 Trillion more than the March 11 earthquake ), killing more than 300,000 people.

The worst case disaster scenario sees the Nankai quake striking at nighttime during the winter with strong winds helping to unleash tsunami up to 34 meters high.

This quake, well expected, could kill over 320,000 people ( compared with roughly 19,000 on 3/11 ) in 30 prefectures by tsunami generated by a massive earthquake in the trough which stretches for 750 kilometers from Kanto to Kyushu.

what is this, the suicide watch thread - get those people out of Japan.

either way, what are their chances of being here healthy 20 years from now?

Breaking: 5.1 Magnitude earthquake rattles Tokyo, Japan this morning @USGS

What you think DoorBert, this will explode in a few weeks or not?

Not looking good.

USGS is showing 2 quakes a 4.7 & 4.8, both shallow, about 5 hrs 20 minutes apart.

Same type of precursor like the 9.0 Tohoku quake.

Theres no such thing as a precursor. The MEGA quake, could strike next month, next year or sometime in the next 30 years.

That is all that is known. So enjoy the wait.

I assume you are a geologist

The Great Tokyo Quake of 2014

Who exactly thought it would be a good idea to build a nuclear reactor in a region plagued with earthquakes?

Exactly.

I truly do think it will be a miracle if humans are still around even ten years from now.

Let's hope it does.
