Japan is holding its breath after last week's 7.1-magnitude quake in Miyazaki – and scientists say this might just be the opening act. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has dropped its first-ever megaquake warning, putting the country on high alert for a potential seismic sequel along the deadly Nankai Trough.
🌊 The Hot Zone: This underwater fault zone along the Pacific coast is like nature's ticking time bomb. Last Thursday's quake struck right at its southwestern edge, reviving fears of 'The Big One' that could trigger tsunamis and devastate coastal cities.
📡 Science Says: 'We're seeing unusual crustal movements,' warns the JMA, urging residents to prep emergency kits and evacuation plans. The next week could be critical – think tectonic plates playing Jenga with Japan's future.
🇯🇵 Quake-Ready Nation: While Japan's disaster response is top-tier (thanks to its 'earthquake drills as lifestyle' approach), this alert has even veterans checking their survival gear. Stay tuned – we'll keep you updated faster than you can say 'tsunami warning siren.' 🚨
