 | | Fukuoka's other major fault, the Kego fault, runs 22 km northwest to southeast, roughly parallel to Nishitetsu's Omuta train line. |
 | | The probability of an earthquake along the Kego fault occuring within 30 years was estimated at 0.4% prior to the March 20, 2005 earthquake, but this probability has been revised upwards since. |
 | | Following reports that the city has only prepared for earthquakes up to a magnitude of 6.5, the aftershock renewed fears that the Kego faultline may be active again, leading to a an earthquake as big as, or bigger than, the March 20th quake. |
