Today's 8.7 magnitude earthquake in Kamchatka Peninsula did not cause much alarm in Russia, but Japan was terrified. From Hokkaido to Kyushu, the country is on high alert, with the prime minister personally leading the response center. The first wave of tsunami has already reached Japan, and so far it has been below 50 centimeters. It is expected to reach a maximum of 3 meters. If the epicenter had been in Japanese waters instead of Russia, it would have been a heavy burden that Japan's current capacity could not handle. The Japanese government's extreme anxiety this time actually also has elements of an exercise. A nearshore 9.0 magnitude earthquake that could arrive at any moment is always a nightmare hanging over the Japanese people.
