Corgi reacts to magnitude 5.7 earthquake as tremors shake home in Tokoname, Japan

On November 8, 2026, in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, a security camera captured a Corgi reacting to a strong earthquake that struck central Japan. In the video, the earthquake early warning alarm sounds, prompting the dog to bark frantically and move around the house. As the tremors begin, the dog braces her hind legs against the shaking while a person on the floor attempts to calm her down. According to reports, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck central Japan at approximately 1:04 a.m. local time on November 8, 2026. The epicenter was located in western Shizuoka Prefecture at a depth of approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles). The strongest shaking was recorded in Chita City, Aichi Prefecture, reaching an upper 5 on Japan's seven-level seismic intensity scale. The earthquake triggered Japan's earthquake early warning system and resulted in dozens of mostly minor injuries, damage to some storefront windows, and precautionary speed restrictions on regional Shinkansen bullet trains.
