Depends how deep down it happened and if is was out in the coast or inland. Can't tell the damage by just the magnitude alone.

geetar · 22-06-2011, 23:11

in actual fact it's not so much the magnitude as the area where it hits,historically some of the biggest killers have been average magnitude deep quakes hitting land but luckily this one is out at sea

NHK (Japan TV) have carried a Tsunami warning and advised coastal residents to evacuate although they state the risk seems to be low at this point

Alas, Earthquakes are going to be part of life in Japan and Christchurch for the forseeable future. Cursed faultlines under awesome places

Magnitude 6.7 and 5.7 km deep. Looks like it's a big one

And just to add to their misery, a tropical storm system currently lashing the Gulf Of Thailand dropping some 200mm of rain will progress northwards and hit Northern Japan's devastated area and is expected to be dumping some 150mm of rain with a chance that this system will organise into a typhoon!

Flooding expected.
