New Year’s Day quake in Japan revives the trauma of 2011 triple disasters

Associated Press  

SUZU, Japan — The powerful earthquake that shattered the peace of New Year’s Day in central Japan did not spur massive tsunamis like those that scoured the Pacific coast in 2011, killing nearly 20,000 people and forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. But the alarms and evacuation orders, and the dozens of strong quakes that came before and after the main quake on Monday, summoned memories of the triple disasters nearly 13 years ago., As of Wednesday afternoon, local officials said 64 people were confirmed killed in the quake that struck on the coast of the remote Noto peninsula, 300 kilometers northwest of Tokyo. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and other officials sternly warned against posting misleading or “malicious” information online after some people posted videos of the gigantic 2011 tsunami as if it was from Monday’s quake. The 2011 triple disasters along Japan’s northeastern coast began with a magnitude 9 earthquake offshore that was more than 125 times more powerful than this week’s quake in terms of the total energy it released, according to an online calculating tool of the U.S. Geological Survey.
