Japan Meteorological Agency reported it as 7.1 USGS reported it as 7.1 Prime Minister Suga reported "no anomalies, ... everything is normal." Okay. The Japanese have a lot of experience with earthquakes. They should know. I trust the assessment. The article declares it 7.3, citing the JMA, who were quoted as reporting it as 7.1 in the very next paragraph. No explanation anywhere for how it became 7.3. Meh, what's two points on a logarithmic scale of seismic energy?
