The Japan Quake took two days to reach its peak
The USGS has a webpage which lists Latest Earthquakes M5.0+ in the World - Past 7 days. Below I capture three days of that data. Note this begins as a 7.2 temblor 2011/03/09 02:45:20. The main 8.9 temblor occurs at 2011/03/11 05:46:24 which is 51 hours later. In that 51 hours, there were 22 temblors of 5.0 or greater. Four of them were magnitude 6.0 or greater. Who knew the big one was coming?
