Tokyo Shaken by 5.9 Earthquake | Huntsville News

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake rattled eastern Japan early Sunday, shaking Tokyo hard but thankfully without a tsunami threat. While the USGS recorded it slightly lower at 5.8, no injuries or major damage have been reported yet. Emergency alerts flooded phones, but traffic stayed steady in nearby cities — a sign things held up. It’s a sobering reminder of last month’s deadly 7.1 quake in Kumamoto, which killed 38 and wrecked over 2,000 buildings. This tremor, though alarming, seems far less destructive — officials are still assessing, but calm is returning.
