PRAY FOR JAPAN : SUBSCRIBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOipoMghMSMrz0PBQVU7eYg?sub_confirmation=1 At least 45 people died when an earthquake shook southwestern Japan's Kyushu island late Thursday and Friday, The Kumamoto Prefecture disaster management office said. Search crews scrambled to dig through rubble looking for people trapped under collapsed buildings. The magnitude-6.2 quake struck near Ueki, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Dozens of smaller aftershocks Gen Aoki, director of the Japan Meteorological Agency's earthquake division, warned more aftershocks could occur over the next week. "This is an earthquake that is going to shake for a long time," CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said. That could mean many more building collapses. "The buildings that were damaged in the original shock have now been redamaged or reshaken," he said. "And all of a sudden you have a cracked building, and it wants to fall down with the second shake." Robert Geller, a seismologist at Tokyo University, said the quake increases the likelihood of eruptions from Mount Aso, Japan's largest active volcano -- though there have been no reports of extra activity, according to the Meteorological Agency. ******************************************************************** 7.1 Earthquake in Japan & Tsunami Warning CCTV footage April 15 2016 4/15/2016 The quakes started late Thursday night local time, when a magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the island, killing at at least nine people. Another more powerful earthquake hit Saturday morning local time. The U.S. Geological survey put that quake at a 7.0 magnitude. Saturday's quake also prompted a landslide and several aftershocks — the strongest of which measured at a 5.7 magnitude — again almost with the same epicenter. So why is the same spot being hit repeatedly? Japan is in a region known as the Ring of Fire where tectonic plates make it susceptible to earthquakes. Since the quakes, thousands have been evacuated and thousands more left without power. The country has held emergency meetings since the first quake. On Saturday local time, the prime minister announced an intensive rescue effort as many are believed to be trapped under collapsed buildings. A U.S. Department of State spokesman said the U.S. was willing to help. Japan's defense minister has reportedly told the country's Department of Defense to consider the offer. A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck southern Japan early on Saturday morning, triggering a tsunami advisory. The quake's epicenter was near the city of Kumamoto and measured at a depth of 40 km (25 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said. The USGS minutes earlier reported a 7.1 quake with a depth of 7 km close to the same location. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory, which identifies the presence of a marine threat and asks people to leave coastal regions, for the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas. Local broadcaster NHK said the advisory suggested a possible wave of one meter in height. BBC : A powerful earthquake has struck near the southern Japanese city of Kumamoto, a day after a tremor there killed at least nine people. The magnitude-7.1 quake at a depth of 10km (6 miles) hit at 01:25 on Saturday (16:25 GMT on Friday). Another report says a second quake hit later. A tsunami warning has been issued, with waves of up to 1m (3ft) possible. Japan is regularly hit by earthquakes but stringent building codes mean that they rarely cause significant damage. Thursday's magnitude-6.2 quake caused shaking at some places as intense as the huge earthquake that hit the country in 2011, Japan's seismology office said. That quake sparked a huge tsunami and nuclear meltdown at a power plant in Fukushima. Most of those who died in Thursday's quake were in the town of Mashiki in the Kyushu region in south-western Japan where an apartment building collapsed and many houses were damaged. The Japan Meteorological Agency said the Saturday quake was 7.1 magnitude and it initially issued a tsunami advisory, which identifies the presence of a marine threat and asks people to leave coastal regions, for the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas. More than 1,000 people were injured. Large West Pacific earthquake strikes South Japan again today. The home was in Mashiki which is believed to be one of the worst hit areas. Japan Earthquake 7 feared dead, 50 injured after 6.4 quake hits southwest Japan One person is feared dead after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck east of Kumamoto, Japan. Fifty others have been taken to local hospitals, according to Kyodo News. The quake hit at 9:26 p.m. local time (12:26 GMT), eight kilometers (4.97 miles) from the city of Tamana. It had a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). Local police say they received reports that several people were trapped under collapsed houses, NHK reported. They also said that several traffic lights lost power after the quake.
