@ScholarlyMouse @punkrobbo59 I’ve found so many of my ancestors recently from there, dating back to the 1700’s. My last name is McLean but the parish records write it Mcinlearanne.
Video: A huge landslide destroys several houses in Wajima. As days pass and evacuees make their way to safe places with stable internet connections, we'll probably hear more eyewitness accounts and see more footage of Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
Video: passengers escape from a burning JAL flight at Tokyo's Haneda airport today, after it collided with a Japan Coast Guard plane. All the passengers and crew from the JAL flight survived, but several of the coast guard crew are missing.
Helicopter footage from NHK shows that people at a Kanazawa University facility near the end of the Noto Peninsula have lined up furniture to spell out "SOS." (the footage was filmed about 3 hours ago) https://t.co/izBFuijUL4
A shocking video from Wajima, 🇯🇵, this morning. The main marketplace in the city has been flattened by the quake and subsequent fire. Video posted on X by @pyongkichi1212

In July I visited Suzu City, near the epicenter of today's 7.6-magnitude #quake in #Japan, and was surprised to see warnings like this on many buildings. The remote community at the end of the Noto Peninsula had suffered another big quake in May that left one dead and 44 injured
The Noto Peninsula, site of today's powerful #quake in #Japan, has long been producing exquisite lacquerware like these cups I photographed in Wajima last July. At least one lacquerware warehouse has been destroyed, according to media reports
