The 1382 Dover Straits earthquake occurred at 15:00 on 21 May. It had an estimated magnitude of 6.0 M s and a maximum felt intensity of VII-VIII on the Mercalli intensity scale. [3] Based on contemporary reports of damage, the epicentre is thought to have been in the Straits of Dover.
Meanwhile, major earthquakes such as the 1994 offshore Sanriku earthquake and the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake revealed issues like wide variability in damage in areas with intensities 5 and 6, as well as delays in determining intensity 7 (which required field surveys by the JMA’s mobile observation team).
Japan’s Meteorological Agency warns major quakes could hit the area over the next week
