Earthquake Country

We had a couple of earthquakes over the weekend -- both occurred underneath Fukushima. The first was a 5.7 and the second a 6.6, but i think Iwaki only felt about a 4 for each. I was in my apartment for both as it rocked back and forth, shaking my TV back and forth and rattling my hanging kitchen utensils. No ill effects though.

My First Earthquake in Japan

I just went through my first earthquake. I think it was a 3.o here in Iwaki. It doesn't sound like much, but my whole apartment was swaying back and forth for a good 10 seconds or so. It is now pouring rain and there are thunderclouds overhead. I've got to wake up early tomorrow to go to Fukushima city for another orientation. If the thunder keeps up, I don't think i'll be getting much sleep tonight.
