If I understand it correctly a 9.9 would be 4 times stronger than the largest ever earthquake in history (Chile, 1960) and would be the same energy released as 712,000 nukes dropped in Hiroshima or 187 Tsar Bombas going off at once.
I understand the pucker factor. The scale of those numbers is almost beyond mind numbing.

From my understanding a 10.0 splits the planet and kills everyone on earth.
So a 9.9 leaves fucking Evan from accounting alive and that’s it.
I’d be kissing my family goodbye
At those levels the people you’d need to warn would already be dead.
Depending on where that quake happened and what kind, portions of Japan could become subterranean I imagine. Mother nature scary.
