Someone who experienced the earthquake in Japan shared their harrowing account, saying, “It was truly terrifying. I was only on my way to work overtime when the ground suddenly began to shake, and I witnessed it splitting right before my eyes.” They described the lack of escape options: “There was no safe place to evacuate to. Despite my flustered state, I proceeded to work and even managed to capture a video of the incident.”

The video captured by this individual vividly depicts sidewalk blocks undulating, rising, and falling while cracks appear on the road’s surface.

What is Soil Liquefaction?
Magnitude 7.6 Earthquake Strikes Noto Peninsula

One mentioned the “soil liquefaction phenomenon.” They referred to an earthquake in Sulawesi, Indonesia, in 2018 and left a link to a picture capturing the phenomenon of soil liquefaction.

Soil liquefaction occurs when soil loses stiffness and shear strength and behaves like a liquid when stressed.

On that day, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture in central Honshu, Japan. The aftershocks continued until the early morning of the 2nd.

Japan’s NHK and Kyodo News report that authorities have ordered approximately 97,000 residents to evacuate following the earthquake. Ishikawa Prefecture officials confirm that four people have died and around 30 have sustained injuries. Officials have not completed a full damage assessment, indicating that the casualty count may rise.

In Ishikawa Prefecture, power outages affected 32,500 households, while mobile phone and communication services were disrupted in Niigata and Ishikawa Prefectures. Landslides and road damage led to the closure of some roads.

The Japan Meteorological Agency warned about the potential for earthquakes with a maximum intensity of 7 or higher over the next 2-3 days and urged continued vigilance.
