Earthquakes

Two earthquakes in as many nights.

At around ten o'clock on Wednesday night, I felt this quake. That was weird - it was the first time I've ever felt a quake, and I was mostly just fascinated. I was also pretty tired. I had already gone to bed, and when the bed started shaking, my first thought was "where did the cat come from?" because it felt

There were 2 quakes?? I hadn't realized that...geeze, planet earth, give it a rest, will you? >.>

Glad you're okay!

Here's to hoping it won't become a nightly tradition. o.o Apparently these are still aftershocks from the big one. You'd think those tectonic plates would settle down in their new positions, but no, they're still squirming. :P

Yeah, I've gotten kind of used to tiny quakes, but I'm in Kansai, and I always feel like it probably won't get worse. But where you are... yeah, it's freaky. It really is. *hugs*

Some of the other foreign students in the dorm freaked out a lot, because I heard a bunch of them rushing out into the corridor and talking.

It's funny, I've already been in Japan for 1 year 9 months total before this, and I've never experienced an earthquake before - and now there's two in two nights. I think those tectonic plates should go back to sleep already! :P

There are still aftershocks? Wow.

[shayera]

Apparently! I was surprised, too.

I hope they don't bother you too much... :(

I'll live. I knew this is earthquake country, especially after the recent catastrophe, and I wanted to be here anyway. It's just a strange feeling when you experience earthquakes for the very first time.

That wasn't part of the deal was it? Hang in there, the Japanese people do :)

[shayera]

Oh, it was. Japan is Earthquake Country, especially now when there are still aftershocks going on. And the other evening, the ground kept shaking softly almost constantly for hours, so I feel I can confidently say I'm used to it by now. XD
