I am fine, so please help me in the affected area.
Thank you for your concern for the affected areas.🙂

…It's a pity that these days we can't put the environment for leisurely game-playing ahead of the plagues, wars, earthquakes, and politics.😢🕹📺

I myself am still safe.
If there is a bigger earthquake, Japan will sink and I will be caught in the middle of it.

There are some people talking about donation counters and support, but fake counters are also noticeable, so I don't think there is any need to panic at this point.
 Also, I think it would have been better not to post those links in terms of SG's guidelines.

Thank you for always being a good friend.
That makes me the happiest.♡

It's further away than that, so I'm afraid only in case of a bigger earthquake, but it's ok.
If something similar were to happen where I am, I would be crushed or freeze to death under the weight of the snow on my roof because of the cold weather.
 Originally, the affected area could also have snowfall this time, but fortunately it was not the case.

Stay safe and wish you all for the best!

Ps. At first moment (before I clicked it) I though it is some Quake (game) party in Japan, but it is real Quake and Tsunami alert...
Ps2. I think I am also a little late for comment. I hope you are ok.

Maybe you feel that way because games related to the Great East Japan Earthquake also appeared on Steam.
I would use General if the category was such games instead of off-topic.

I would have originally made a GA for the New Year, but since an unsettled year has begun, I'm going to wait until I've settled down.

I am still more afraid of this one, which is the largest. old time quake.

It sounds like a really bad game.😅

There are many scary things going on: the power is out in the area, there are concerns about landslides due to the coming rains, and there was a major accident involving an airplane attempting to deliver relief supplies to the affected areas.
The fires have been extinguished and the number of casualties is currently in double digits, but there are still quite a few collapsed buildings, and since the earthquakes are continuing, it seems that the removal of these buildings is not progressing.
Rescue efforts are underway, but I don't get the impression that there is much media coverage yet. (This is because it would interfere with rescue efforts in the affected areas.)

How does this scale to regular Quakes in Japan?

I heard news about some small tsunami's and that the north coast was evacuated as a precaution?

Do I have to see this as a +1/+2 of a regular Monday or is it way heavier then they are used too?

This earthquake?
It is an anomaly when compared to the normal earthquakes that occur in Japan.

Buildings on the Noto Peninsula are often earthquake-resistant, as the area has long been prone to plate earthquakes.  Even so, there are areas that are trying to maintain the old townscape, and these areas have been reinforced to be earthquake resistant after the last 20 years of earthquakes.

Generally, a magnitude 6 earthquake is said to be 7.5 to 7.8 on the Richter scale, such as the loss of more than 2,000 people in Morocco or the major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, but the first one of this earthquake is considered 7.6, not 7.4.
I recall that at least 56,000 people died....

So this time the epicenter has been shaking at a considerable magnitude ever since the first one.

地震活動の状況
3日03時00分現在 1日16時以降、震度1以上を観測した地震が448回発生(震度7:1回 震度5強:5回 震度5弱:6回 震度4:24回 震度3:76回 震度2:151回 震度1:185回)
(about)
Status of Seismic Activity
As of 03:00 on January 3, since 16:00 on January 1, earthquakes of intensity 1 or higher have occurred 448 times (intensity 7: once, intensity 5 strong: 5 times, intensity 5 weak: 6 times, intensity 4: 24 times, intensity 3: 76 times, intensity 2: 151 times, intensity 1: 185 times)


In my proper and lax perception.
It's usually at a depth of 10 km or very shallow on...
Think of an intensity 7 as occurring at a magnitude of 7.5.
Think of seismic intensity 6 or 5 as occurring at magnitude 6 or higher.

The impact, which would be horrific if the area did not have earthquake-resistant construction, has been repeated many times.
And some earthquake-resistant buildings have also been damaged, so we are watching with concern, although there have been no reports of major obstacles to rescue operations.

Well, still, the impact seems to be less severe than the Great East Japan Earthquake so far.

I assume the damage that is occurring is not from the magnitude but the sheer amount of quakes happening at the moment right?

I have the luck that Earthquakes are not common in my country.

Even if there are no disasters, there are many man-made disasters on the planet.
No matter where you are on the planet, there is always some kind of trouble.
I hope we will soon have a year every year when we can all be saved from our troubles.🍵☕

Too true that there are many kinds of trouble, where I live are currently multiple issues with high water.
It is still manageable at the moment, unlike a couple years ago, when we were asked to help man an evacuation centre because of flooding's in the area.

I hope for you that there wont be any rains coming to Japan, which would complicate the current situation only more then it already is.

I hope the rain will be postponed because reports of the earthquake have been circulating that there is a danger of landslides if it rains.☔ヽ(Θ´; )ノ≡ヽ( ;`Θ)ノ☁

By the way, there may not be much coverage of this New Year's earthquake...
Yesterday, too, there was a tremor on the side of the epicenter of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
🙄Oh..

In areas where old townscapes are a tourist attraction, it seems that damage is still more likely to occur than expected.

Even today, there are not so many local demolition companies and building equipment suppliers, and due to the convenience of bringing in supplies and removing waste materials, the devastated landscape remains strong in many places even during the year-end and New Year holidays.
The situation seems to be gradually getting back to normal with the consolidation of evacuation centers.
