We're about a month away from the tenth anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake that took place on March 11, 2011, but the planet decided to "celebrate" a little early.
According to The Mainichi:
TOKYO -- An estimated magnitude-7.3 earthquake hit off northeast Japan at around 11:08 p.m. on Feb. 13, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The temblor registered an upper 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7 in Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures. The quake was focused off Fukushima Prefecture at a depth of about 60 kilometers.
There was no risk of a tsunami from the quake, the agency said.
The temblor jolted the Tokyo metropolitan area.
