Please focus your thoughts/prayers/hopes on Paris. Japan did not even notice that there was an earthquake. It was 100 miles off the coast and we did not even feel it. There was a tsunami advisory for waves of up to 1 meter for a small stretch of the southwestern coast, but even that has been lifted. Japan is 100% FINE, we have earthquakes like this literally all the time, there are no injuries and no damages, please support the people of Paris.
(Like I’m not sure if people know this but a 7.0 is pretty much NOTHING for Japan. It’s a VERY earthquake-safe country. The 2011 quake was a 9.0 PLUS a tsunami, and the richter scale is an exponential scale–so the big one was over 800 times bigger, and up to 23,000 times stronger than the one we had last night, which was absolutely nothing to worry about.)
