According to the report, a powerful magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck off northern Japan late Monday, injuring dozens and damaging buildings in Hokkaido and Aomori regions as small tsunami waves hit Pacific coastal areas.

Emergency services raced to assess the destruction and check for aftershocks, with transport disrupted and tens of thousands urged to stay alert.

This report on the magnitude 7.6 earthquake in northern Japan is deeply concerning, as it once again demonstrates how vulnerable a region can be to natural events of this magnitude. Japan, being an earthquake-prone country, must always be prepared, yet every earthquake still brings damage and risks to communities. The news that several people were injured and structures were damaged is very sad; moreover, the arrival of small tsunami waves increases the sense of insecurity. Personally, I believe these events remind us of the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of natural disasters. It is admirable how the emergency services work quickly to assess the situation and keep the population alert, but I also think more should be invested in infrastructure and early warning systems to reduce the impact in the future. Nature will always be unpredictable, but we can do much to minimize its effects.

It was indeed scary and sorrowful. Many lives and properties were lost. The worst part was the tsunami. Hoping they move on.
