"The aftershocks still keep coming every 10 minutes and my house sways every time," said Tokyo resident Shintaro Higuchi on Sunday, two days after the 8.9-magnitude struck 373 kilometers (231) miles away.

Japanese officials raised the quake's magnitude to 9.0 on Sunday. But the U.S. Geological Survey kept its magnitude at 8.9.

The worse may not be over. There's a high chance of a magnitude-7.0 quake or above in the next three days because of increased tectonic activity, the earthquake prediction department chief for the Japan Meteorological Agency said Sunday.
