First tsunami in 2024! The 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Japan destroyed Ishikawa streets and homes

A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck central Japan on Monday, causing widespread damage and triggering waves along the west coast and South Korea. The Japan Meteorological Agency initially issued a major tsunami warning but later downgraded it. It was the strongest quake in the region in over four decades. The earthquake led to the destruction of buildings, fires, power outages, and prompted evacuations in coastal areas. At least one person died, and there were reports of collapsed buildings and fires. The government ordered over 97,000 people in nine prefectures to evacuate. Rescue operations were underway, and concerns about additional quakes in the region persisted. The impact was felt in popular tourist destinations like Kanazawa. Japan Translation: 月曜日、暫定マグニチュード7.6の強力な地震が日本中部を襲い
