6.7 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan December 12th 2025!

James Koppman with his report today. Ladies and gentlemen, we've had another very large earthquake, magnitude 6.7 earthquake just off the coast of Japan, the same area that's been swarming now for three or four days. There's been numerous aftershocks, came in there saying as a measly four on the DYFI, a five on the ShakeMap, an associated tsunami warning at 10.7 kilometers of depth. now with that said there's been a ton of aftershocks and i'll tell you how many in just a moment all right first off we're on a bunch of plate tectonic boundaries here so the north american plate comes through here the pacific plate here the euro asia plate here the indonesian plate here you can see that they all meet right there there's a ton of pressure in this area you can also see that there's several volcanoes that are either in minor or major eruption right here so you can see there's a bunch of reasons that magma is moving and the plates are moving in this area get some detailed information usgs being our primary source a 6.7 magnitude earthquake and it says a depth of 11 kilometers here and when we look we see raspberry shake come in also a 6.7 the french come in at a 6.3 let's get some detailed information about this quake and find out how many aftershocks really have occurred all right here we are very strong magnitude 6.7 earthquake about three hours ago folks you can see it's right where we've been swarming but considering this is a likely aftershock from the 7.6 earthquake on December 8th today is the 12th so it's been a couple days here is a very good look at the quake itself you can see that there's been very few reports because it's basically offshore here now obviously people on shore did feel this quake because it's a 6.7 here they have the 37 kilometers of depth and again this was about three hours ago we are at volcanodiscovery.com nothing to play around with Again, USGS, main source, nearest volcano, 96 miles away, although it looks much closer to me, magnitude 6.7, 10.7 kilometers, 10.6 atomic bombs worth of energy released. Can we say, wow, much, much stronger than I anticipated? 10.6 atomic bombs worth of energy released just for this one quake. We're about to find out how many aftershocks were associated, but it's been aftershocking since the 7.6, and really there was a pre-shock of a 6.6 before that. Now, they have said that 2.2 to 3.2 million people most probably felt this earthquake. Most of them are just not in a reporting mood after experiencing so many aftershocks. Unbelievable. There's been so many earthquakes in the area, they don't even want to guess on how many aftershocks or pre-shocks we're talking about here. This is unbelievable action. Japan is rocking and rolling. I don't know if I've ever seen a swarm like this. Don't forget about that Russian peninsula over there. And just as an honorable mention, we have two new Madrid quakes, although small, still new Madrid quakes. Look at that swarm on top of this earthquake, which was indeed an aftershock from the 7.6. Comparing earthquake data from different reporting agencies, USGS 6.7 at 10.7 kilometers, some actual depth 6.6 miles. But of course, we have RaspberryShake coming in at 6.7 as well, much deeper, 37 kilometers. The French at 6.3. The French have this at a default depth of 10 kilometers, meaning that they could not determine, but with sufficient accuracy, the depth of this quake. A 6.8 out of Germany. The Australians say 6.6. Germany says 40 kilometers. Australia says 24 kilometers. The International Research Institute on Seismology came in at 6.7. The Italians at 6.7. 33 kilometers here 10.7 kilometers from the IRIS research institute for seismology and looks like the Russian geosciences are coming at 6.6 48 kilometers of depth the europeans coming in at 6.7 and japan itself coming in at 6.7 so pretty much sums that up all right we did have a tsunami warning with this so i went ahead and checked the tsunami buoys all around the globe here and nothing's going on in the immediate area or elsewhere over in the pacific so i think we're okay there just a warning not even well something that was a few centimeters in height was generated in summary we have an ongoing swarm spent about four or five days of activity here just off the coast of japan this is near several plate tectonic boundaries this is directly over three or four active volcanoes and again they're considering this 6.7 an aftershock from the 7.6 reported on the 8th if y'all saw my report about the 7.6 with that said there's been so many aftershocks the last 24 hours the USGS is only going to show y'all well the largest of the large you can see that you can show quite a few these are 4.0s and larger and they've got six of them here but we're talking about hundreds of aftershocks you can see the plate tectonic boundaries and all the volcanoes off the Pacific the volcanic ranges and ridges coming every which way but there's very very dangerous situation going on especially since the Japanese continue to build nuclear reactors on every coast that they can get their hands on. Very, very strange indeed. With that said, folks, be careful out there. I heard that we are actually creating underground nuclear facilities here in the U.S. I believe one of them's already started construction in Kansas. And I am so against nuclear facilities. I just can't stand up high enough to shout it from the mountaintops. Hopefully, y'all realize that there's no reclamation once that facility has been built, no matter what occurs. So, I am anti-nuclear energy, period. God bless. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible. Bizarro world.
