The earthquakes that have ravaged Japan as the new year gets underway bring back chilling memories of 2011.
The powerful March 11 earthquake and tsunami claimed close to 20,000 lives across swathes of the country’s eastern coast.
The magnitude 9 earthquake and its immediate aftershocks lasted five minutes and had the energy equivalent of 8,000 Hiroshima atom bombs.
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, 150 miles northeast of Tokyo, was severely damaged by the earthquake and a 32-foot tsunami.

Powerful aftershocks rocked central Japan on Tuesday morning as the death toll from a New Year’s Day earthquake rose to 48.
Several strong jolts were felt throughout Ishikawa prefecture on the main island of Honshu, including one with a 5.6 magnitude shortly after 10am local time.
Meanwhile, the death toll from the initial 7.6 magnitude quake that struck the region’s Noto peninsula on Monday afternoon rose to 48, with authorities warning the figure was expected to continue to climb.

Jan 1, 2024
Residents of seven Japanese regions have been urged to flee an oncoming tsunami after a series of powerful earthquakes struck the east Asian country.
A one-metre tsunami has already struck parts of the west coast along the Sea of Japan after a series of more than 20 earthquakes with a magnitude of four or stronger started shortly after 3pm local time (6am GMT).
A larger second tsunami is expected and the Japan Meteorological Agency has warned that waves as high as five metres could strike Ishikawa, one of the affected regions.
Tsunami warnings are in place for the entire length of Japan’s northern coast, running some 1,650 miles from Wakkanai in the far north of Hokkaido to Kyushu in the south.
Warnings have also been issued in Russia’s far eastern island of Sakhalin and city of Vladivostok, as well as South Korea’s Gangwon province. The tsunami waves are not expected to be large enough to endanger life.
People living in coastal areas of seven prefectures were instructed to evacuate to higher ground or to seek refuge on higher floors of sturdy buildings.
Fumio Kishida, the prime minister, has urged authorities to prioritise “human life above all else” and “spare no effort in our emergency disaster responses”.
