Now Playing: I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet
Sunday, 7pm
An odd feeling - standing on my deck with the earth swaying and rumbling beneath me. The apartment shook but nothing fell or broke so i guess it wasn't a bad quake. David was already on the street when i finally decided to leave and go downstairs. What a thrill.
Midnight Sunday
Wow, it shook so hard that it woke me out of a sound sleep. I wondered whether i should leave the apartment again but everything is still on shelves so back to sleep i go.
At work on Monday i am trying to find out how strong the quake was. On the internet i found a site that says it was around 7.1 on the Richter Scale. The Japanese rating was a 3 or 4. (Their scale goes from 1 to 7)
