4.8R in S. Japan

Subdued events in Japan of late, and this 4.8R is following the trend. As we can see from the calendar below today we should see a strong event, but this 4.8R in Ryukyu Islands is struggling to be within the Japan norm. Overall we are in a global period where all earthquakes are not so strong.  Lets hope there is no more today in Japan.
