Conditions and signals · Waves 1.8 m · No outage signals
  • Sea conditions at the fault: waves about 1.8 m now, up to 2.3 m over the next 3 days. (Open-Meteo marine model)
  • Internet outage signals in the last 24 hours (IODA): none in China, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan.

Shown for context. An earthquake or storm nearby is only given as the cause when a source says so, and outage signals show connectivity dropped somewhere in a country, not which cable.
