Earthquake in Japan today

The earthquake happened this morning. Some minor injuries and lots of areas have small damages . Seems nothing big damage done.
Something was said about 30 kilometers deep.
The quake was located in Yamagata.
Mt. Fuji went active in 1707. Many are now worried about Mt. Fuji in the future.
On mobile, but more news is everywhere.

Sounds like it's not connected to mount Fuji, at least not yet. The hashtag "Mount Fuji eruption", began trending in Japanese on Twitter, with one user saying: "Tokyo would be in real trouble if Mount Fuji erupted. With coronavirus going on, where can we flee to?"

Really? people are worried because of COVID, and the volcano, even added together the chances of death are incredibly small. Or have we devolved so much so now we listen to those irrational COVID paranoid fears and attach them to every other issue facing society.

Right now Japan cases are at less than 1% of what they were at the peak times,chances of even getting COVID are extremely low.

Japan quells fears of Mount Fuji eruption after an earthquake

The volcano last erupted more than 300 years ago but is still active and occasionally goes through periods of activity that can produce several hundred tremors a month.

A Japanese government panel said last year that any major eruption would rain so much ash on Tokyo that its transportation network of trains and highways would be paralysed in three hours.

The Japan Meteorological Agency, however, said that there was no data indicating an increased chance of Mount Fuji erupting.

"We have seen no particular abnormalities in observational data regarding Mount Fuji," an agency official said at a news conference. "There probably isn't any connection (between the quake and a possible eruption)."

No thank you for posting about Japan, We are running out of sane countries to count on? Japan is normally one of them.

According to google translate, Elijah Cummings and Maxine Waters claim it's because they closed the borders and all the people shifted their weight to the left which almost flipped it over again. Woke science.
