The Japan Meteorological Agency believes there is now a "relatively higher chance" of another major earthquake occurring near western Japan's Pacific coast after a 7.1 magnitude quake struck the country earlier on Thursday.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said that residents in the region should be on alert for evacuation orders from local authorities.

The earthquake that hit southwestern Japan triggered tsunami advisories, the JMA said, but there were no immediate signs of major damage.

    Yes as these and other world events continue the image to the beast is being formed in " protestant " amerika. Sunday law ( worship) will be suggested as to appease God to stop all these events worldwide. They will not stop til Jesus 2nd coming but will be more and more til then. The 3 angels messages of Revelation 14 must go forth
