Tokyo, Japan — On Monday, Japan took swift action by issuing tsunami alerts in the wake of a series of robust earthquakes that rattled western areas. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported a significant quake striking Ishikawa and neighboring prefectures, with one of them registering a preliminary magnitude of 7.4.
The Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV issued a stern warning, cautioning the public about the potential for torrents of water to surge as high as 5 meters (16.5 feet).
