Docomo's Earthquale Alert
Sorry for making another post so soon, but I found something I wanted to share.
While compared to the aftershocks we originally had, things have definitely quieted down, but Japan is still shaking. I usually feel about one or two small ones a day. Last night at about 1 Fukushima got a big one (a weak 5), & docomo (my phone service) sent out the earthquake alarm. Thankfully, it was only a 2 in Sendai, but that damn freaking alarm still gives me a heart attack every time I hear it!
SO! I found a video clip on youtube of the alert sound & warning mail docomo users get (usually) about 5-10 seconds before a big earthquake is expected.
This is why I jump everytime there's a loud noise now. >:[ While I am very thankful for the alert system & appreciate it, it's made me a lot more jumpier than I used to be.
Here's hoping it doesn't go off tonight!
