Update 17:23 UTC : The max. expected Tsunami waves are 0,2 to 1 meter
Update 17:16 UTC : For
people who are used to look at shaking values in MMI we can tell that
the current aftershock has an MMI value of VIII to IX
Important Update 17:09 UTC : Damage specialist Dr James Daniell (CEDIM Karlsruhe) projects the following numbers (after this aftershock) :
* Updated loss estimate:-- $12 billion with a range from $5-23 billion currently
* 110 fatalities expected with a range from 12 to around 900
* Updated loss estimate:-- $12 billion with a range from $5-23 billion currently
* 110 fatalities expected with a range from 12 to around 900
Important Update 16:50 UTC : Professor Max Wyss, who specializes in theoretical prognoses of injuries and fatalities expects :
Injuries - 700 to 8,000
Fatalities - 200 to 2,000
ER estimates and hopes that it will be less than the minimum numbers of Max Wyss mainly because a lot of people are residing in shelters, especially those people living in houses with structural damage. We think however that the cost of this earthquake will be running in the billions of dollars.

Update 16:47 UTC : Although the shaking impact is slightly less than yesterday, the strongest JMA6+ impact area is rather wide.
Meaning of JMA6+:
JMA6+ means :
* It is impossible to move without crawling. People may be thrown through the air
* Most unsecured furniture moves, and is more likely to topple over
* Wooden houses with low earthquake resistance are more likely to lean or collapse
* Large cracks may form, and large landslides and massif collapses may be seen
