Observational forecasting shows two waves in the area, one 4.0ish and the other 6.0ish. And this 5.3 is between them, makes it uncertain which wave it is.
But timing and spacing makes it look like it is from the M 6.6 – 209km W of Chichi-shima, Japan 2020-04-18 08:25:37 (UTC) 27.140°N 140.106°E 453.8 km depth, which 36 hours later struck M 6.3 – 25km SE of Ofunato, Japan 2020-04-19 20:39:05 (UTC) 38.912°N 141.932°E 38.0 km depth. When looking at the moment tensor data it had a 66% of its energy headed EES and was back from the plate boundary by about 160km/100mls. The 5.3 was back from the plate boundary by about 80km/50mls.
You are definitely looking in the right area at the right time. If your method is seeing M 7.0+ then there could be a third wave or new starting point forming in this area.
All eyes open!
