A massive earthquake has struck Japan, killing 30 people. The quake measured at 7.6 magnitude, making it the strongest earthquake to hit the area since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, which measured at 9.0 on the Richter scale. It struck yesterday in the afternoon and also caused a minor tsunami, but crews fear that dozens more people are trapped under debris. The quake collapsed buildings and started fires as Japan's Ishikawa, Toyama, and Niigata prefectures shook violently, and over 45,000 homes have been left without power. Over 35 significant aftershocks have been reported since then, which is not helping recovery efforts.
