7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Northern Japan (日本发生7.0级地震!)

A powerful earthquake hit the north of Japan's main island this morning. The epicentre was in Akita prefecture. In Tokyo, we also felt the shaking when the quake occurred but not much affected. Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries and we have experienced many of minor tremors during the past 10 years. However the quake like this is quite rare. There is already a lot of rumors that there will be a big one(7.0-8.0 magnitude) in Tokyo within the next 10-20 years. Scared...

今天早上日本本州北部岩手县发生了7.0级地震. 我们在东京也感到很明显的震感. 日本是地震大国. 我们在日本呆的十年里已经经历了无数次大大小小的地震. 虽然已经习惯了但是一直生活在一个地震国家有时候是感到有一些恐怖. 很多地震专家已经预测东京在未来的十年到二十年之内会有七到八级的大地震. 真的好可怕...
