A: Hey there! Heard anything exciting this morning?

B: Just the usual, what's up?

A: Well, there was a big earthquake near Akusekijima in Kagoshima Prefecture early today. It was a 5.1 on the Japanese scale.

B: Whoa, that sounds serious! Anything more about it?

A: Yeah, it followed two other strong quakes that happened six minutes apart on Sunday afternoon. Those were upper 5, or around 4.9 and 5.5 in magnitude.

B: That's quite a series! So, any warnings for future quakes?

A: Absolutely, the Japan Meteorological Agency is saying there could be more strong tremors, even as intense as lower 6.

B: Wow, that's quite a threat... Has this area been active before?

A: It sure has! There were quake swarms here in 2021 and 2023, but the current activity is way more intense than those. As of now, over 1500 quakes with an intensity of 1 or greater have been recorded since June 21.
