Earthquake

http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-fgw-japan-quake15-2010mar15,0,7833390.story

I live in Kitakata, in central Fukushima.


In the past two days, I have felt two of the strongest earthquakes I have felt in my life.

The first: I was sitting in my apartment and suddenly realized the apartment was gradually shaking

The second: I was sitting in Pronto having a coffee with my friend Faye and the earthquake alarm on my phone started sounding. I immediately started to go toward the entrance-way... realized no one else in the restaurant even cared and proceeded to watch the light fixtures sway for another 15 seconds. The televisions in the cafe immediately started reporting on the [non existant] damage.

I'm OK. Don't worry... even if it made the LA Times.

Ah, Japan.
