A couple of more strong earthquakes have occurred over the past 12 hours. A magnitude 6.0 occurred south of the Philippines and a magnitude 6.2 struck Alaska's Aleutian Islands late last night. Yesterday's earthquake that struck southwestern Japan injured 13 people. Two of them who were in their 80s were seriously hurt. Multiple reports of damage to buildings, water pipes, and roads have been confirmed. No abnormalities were reported at the Ikata nuclear power plant, operated by Shikoku Electric Power, or the Sendai plant operated by Kyushu Electric Power in Southern Japan, the Nuclear Regulation Authority said. "In the past, 10% to 20% of strong earthquakes were followed by a quake of the same level, so be aware of another quake of up to 5+ intensity scale in regions that experienced large jolts, for around a week." the JMA said in a statement. It is still heated out there, so there still is a high potential for more significant EQ activity in the world so far.
