Light 4.5 quake hits near Ishinomaki, Japan
4.5 quake 25 Dec 6:27 am (GMT +9)
A intermediate magnitude 4.5 earthquake was reported early morning near Ishinomaki, Ishinomaki Shi, Miyagi, Japan.
According to NIED, the quake hit on Friday 25 December 2020 at 6:27 am local time at an intermediate depth of 102.7 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
