The Meteorological Agency on Thursday issued its first-ever alert warning about a possible megaquake around the Nankai Trough, following a magnitude 7.1 quake that struck earlier in the day off the coast of Kyushu.

It is believed that the chance of a major earthquake occurring in the Nankai Trough is relatively higher than usual, according to the agency, but it added that this does not mean an earthquake will necessarily occur within a specific timeframe. The warning is expected to be in place for a week, but officials said residents should not let their guard down even after it is lifted.

A bit scary, but a risk these folks have lived with for a very long time.

Isn't this the second warning in the last month?

As a "mega quake" warning, it is the first one.
