Researchers in Japan are now saying there’s a high probability that Tokyo could be hit by a massive earthquake in the next several years.
Nearly one year ago, the a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of the country and caused a tsunami that claimed the lives of more than 15,700 people. Researchers involved in the recent study say there’s a 70 percent probability Tokyo will experience a magnitude-7 quake within four years and a 98 percent probability within the next 30 years.
