>Defined as a major tremor occurring in 100- to 150-year cycles, a megaquake could surpass the damage from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the northeastern coast of the main island of Honshu. Thursday’s warning was for a major tremor originating from the Nankai trough, a trench where the Philippine sea plate subducts underneath the Eurasian continental plate.
Nothing ever happens, right?
Right?

Hope those backup diesel generators at nuclear power plants that are critical to preventing a meltdown aren’t at ground level. It would be really bad if a tsunami knocked them out, not that that’s ever happened /s
