“Oh wow,” the woman can be heard saying, sounding so nervous. “Okay, I think it’s okay.” She said it was the largest earthquake she’s experienced since moving to the area in 2017, and that she is in a decent building so not too many items fell.
The earthquake rattled the nation’s capital and has sent fears of a tsunami, with an advisory sent to parts of the northeast coast, CBS News reported, citing the Japan Meteorological Agency. Meteorologists are reportedly warning locals to avoid any coastal areas.
The earthquake was centered just off the coast of Fukushima and reportedly hit 36 miles below sea level.
According to NHK World Japan, buildings throughout Tokyo are without power and trains are without service. Millions of homes under Tokyo Electric Power Company’s service still remain without power, the outlet reported.
The region had been hit with a major earthquake back in 2011 that led to a massive tsunami that triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster, according to Reuters. Approximately two million households are without power, according to the report.
At this point, there have been no casualties or injuries reported, according to the Associated Press.
