A 6.2 magnitude earthquake has struck off the cost of Honshu Japan at 2:51 PM (EDT) approximately 49 miles from Sendai, Honshu, Japan and 59 miles from Fukushima, Honshu, Japan. This is the second major earthquake to hit the region in the last 24 hours with a 6.4 earthquake striking yesterday, July 23rd.
A 6.0 magnitude earthquake has struck just off the East coast of Honshu, Japan 45 minutes ago. At this time there are no reports of damage.
Our predicted date range for this earthquake event ends tomorrow.
On March 13th (find in the Predictions tab above or via this link) we predicted an earthquake between 5-8 magnitude at 25 degrees North in the land of New Navarra to occur between the time of March 20th and April 10th. While the date range was accurate we missed the location by 5 degrees.
There was a significant 6.5 magnitude earthquake that did occur during our predicted range on April 7th at 17 degrees North in the area near Veracruz, Mexico. While we were off by 5 degrees, this did strike in the general vicinity of our prediction and we believe this event fulfilled the prediction.
Fortunately, because the earthquake was deep, there was a small amount of damage and no loss of life. This event was eclipsed by the unfortunate 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan which happened 1 hour later.
