Japan islanders sleepless after 900 earthquakes in two weeks
Seven of the 12 Tokara islands are inhabited by about 700 residents
Seismic activity has been "very active" in the seas around the Tokara islands since 21 June, authorities said after a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck on Wednesday.
There have been no reports of damage and no tsunami warning has been raised but authorities have advised residents to prepare to evacuate if needed.
"It's very scary to even fall asleep," one resident told the regional broadcaster MBC. "It feels like it's always shaking."
The Tokara area has experienced clusters of earthquakes in the past but the frequency of the most recent tremors has been unusual, according to local media.
Japan is one of the most seismically active nations on Earth, owing to its location on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where many tectonic plates meet. It experiences about 1,500 earthquakes each year.
About 700 people live on seven of the 12 Tokara islands. There are no hospitals on some of these far-flung islands - the nearest is at least six hours by ferry to the prefectural capital, Kagoshima.
"You can hear a strange roar from the ocean before the quakes hit, especially at night. It's eerie," Chizuko Arikawa from Akusekijima island told The Asahi Shimbun.
"Everyone's exhausted. We just want it to stop," said the 54-year-old, who lives by the sea and runs a cattle farm with her husband.
"After so many quakes, it now feels like the ground is shaking even when it's not," said Isamu Sakamoto, 60, head of the local residents' association in Akusekijima.

“Looking Out” vs. “Looking Up”
We should all be on the same prophetic page, but that isn’t the case. Prophecy “watchers” are attuned to differing wavelengths on a prophetic spectrum. And it’s a man-made rather than a biblically constructed spectrum that is divisive to the point of being a disservice to God’s family here on Earth.

The Temple Mount Awakens: Is the Third Temple Closer Than We Think?
Something is stirring in Jerusalem—and it’s not just politics. With Iran on the back foot, Hamas and Hezbollah scattered, and the winds of Middle East diplomacy blowing once again, a different kind of conversation is quietly picking up steam: Could we be approaching the day when the Jewish Temple is rebuilt?
