Impact verdict
Low impact. Loss pathway: USGS PAGER yellow elevates casualty concern above green but remains below orange/red thresholds, and the tsunami flag is false. Max MMI ~6.62 (strong shaking) and 95 felt reports indicate the event was widely felt but not locally catastrophic. Depth near 51 km attenuates surface shaking. No named asset damage, casualty count, or insured loss figure is present in authoritative feeds or retrievable media. Northern Honshu is a heavily insured earthquake market (industrial, energy, marine), but absence of confirmed commercial/industrial damage signals caps severity. Classified as LOW pending further reporting.
