October 1994 Shikotan, Kuril Islands, Russia Images
A magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in the southern Kurils and on northern Hokkaido
on Tuesday, October 5, 1994, (October 4 at 13:23 GMT). It was a sudden event, without
any short- term precursors or foreshocks. The earthquake epicenter was located 80
km east southeast of Shikotan Island. At Kuzhno-Kurilsk, Kunsashir Island, tsunami
heights ranged from 2.5-3.0 m. In the older part of town (fronted by a gentle beach)
all houses were damaged by the wave that penetrated 200-500 m inland.
