Residents of Tokara Islands begin evacuation as seismic swarm continues
Residents of the Tokara Islands in the village of Toshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, began evacuating Friday morning following a powerful magnitude 5.5 earthquake that struck a day earlier, which registered a lower 6 on Japan’s seven-point shindo seismic intensity scale — the highest ever recorded in the region.
The initial evacuation period is set for about a week but may be extended depending on future seismic activity, Toshima Village Mayor Genichiro Kubo said Thursday during a news conference at the village office in the city of Kagoshima.
The first group of 13 evacuees — comprising six elementary and junior high school students and seven others ranging in age from infancy to 80 years old — left Akuseki Island Friday morning aboard a village-operated ferry. The vessel is expected to arrive at Kagoshima Port at around 6 p.m.
At a news conference on Friday morning, Kubo said that the village is currently accepting applications for a second round of departures.
The seismic cluster continues to shake the region and the Indian Ocean.M 5.3 - 219 km NW of Lautoka, Fiji

QUAKE WATCH
Earth's conjunction with Venus and Uranus on the 4th can result in major seismic activity in the next two days.
During the observation period from June 21 to 30, there were five earthquakes with a magnitude of ≥ 6.0, which is above the usual average.

Next observation period from July 1 to 10.

SSGEOS mentions that there is still a possibility of a major event in the coming days. The probability of an event of up to M6.9 in the worst case scenario is 70% according to the forecast. Meanwhile, the probability of a larger event of up to magnitude 8.4 in the worst case scenario is 60%.
On July 4, a critical planetary alignment will occur involving Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune, and another involving Earth, Venus, and Uranus.
