Japan megaquake ... again? Disaster fears re-emerge over rash of island tremors
Japan’s weather agency has logged at least four ‘felt quakes’ in the area with an intensity of 4 on the country’s Shindo scale since Sunday

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) logged four temblors with an intensity of 4 in the area on Sunday and at least one on Monday, according to the Kyodo news agency.
A level-4 temblor on Japan’s 10-level Shindo scale is considered a “felt quake” as people will notice the shaking, which can set suspended fixtures swaying and topple objects on tables.

One evacuee told the broadcaster he was still traumatised by his experience and had trouble sleeping. “I always dream about earthquakes, or the island. Then I wake up. I feel the earthquake in my dreams, and in them, I go through exactly what I had actually experienced in real life.”
Some evacuees have asked to be allowed to go home, but local authorities say they can do so only when there are five straight days without a quake measuring 4 or above.
That, however, would not be soon, going by the weather agency’s observations. “The seismic activity remains dynamic,” JMA official Ayataka Ebita said earlier this month.
