Tsunami warning in Japan
After the earthquake, a tsunami warning was issued in Japan. Flavia Pavanelli, 26, is in Japan and reassured her followers, saying she was in a risk-free area.
“About the earthquake/tsunami. Luckily, we are on the right side of Japan, on the east coast. Thank God this is the unaffected part of Japan. But yes, it is a shame that this is happening,” she said. The influencer also thanked us for the messages of concern. “Everything is fine in the region we are in,” she concluded.
