March 11, 2011, The island of Honshu, Japan
Magnitude to 9.1 magnitude – is the most powerful earthquake in Japan on record. March 14, official sources reported nearly 5000 dead, but this figure is not final.
Valdivia was a 9.5, not 9.6.
Also: Alaska, 1964: 9.2 and Kamchatka, Russia, 1952: 9.0.
Damn Earth.
BTW, the latest earthquake had a magnitude of 9 not 9.1.
