Earthquake!

[Greji]

the lava came just to the outskirts of Kita Senju.

No way. It turned right a Ueno and came to my pub in Shimbashi!

[Iraira]

Anyone know if there are an volcanos near Nakanosakaue? I suppose that if one went off, all teh lava would make it a bitch to get to the market on Wednesday (cheap veggie day)...."Volcanos can clog your colon"

That was like a 2 or low 3 in Tokyo.

[waruta]

Just had a long, long small earthquake here in Yokohama....anyone else feel it?

[Behan]

I felt it here in beautiful Chiba.

Nope.

Yep, I felt it pretty good while on the 2nd floor of a store (outskirts of Yokohama).

[CrankyBastard]

It's Saturday night, I can't feel anything!:kanpai:

[Greji]

I wonder if anybody noticed that??

[IkemenTommy]

First. Fuckin A that was a nice one, huh, Grej?

I'm home up in the mountains and it was an attention getter up here! Where was the center?

[IkemenTommy]

M4 in Tokyo. The tenki jp site is down, probably from server overload. Those guys need to seriously upgrade their shit server and have that early warning system up and working already.

I could be wrong cause it was so long, but it seemed bigger than a four out here....

[GomiGirl]

It was a 6.9 magnitude (4 on Japan scale)

I never use Tenki.jp. I always use the JMA site for all weather/earthquake information in English.

[waruta]

Epicenter located somewhere in Chiba methinks, downgraded to a 3 here in Yokohama. Shee-it, was a big enough one though...I had to rush getting on some pants and a t-shirt just in case....

up and down movement was very similar to the big one I felt waaay back in the philippines (early 90's) that was a 8 on the Richter scale. It felt just the same, small waves and then WHAM! all of a sudden the ground lifted and no way you could stand up. Was worried that might happen here too....

Yeah, I put on my pants and grabbed my keitai and the pack of cigarettes, just in case.

[Samurai_Jerk]

Yeah, usually these things don't phase me at all, but this time I actually positioned myself away from anything that could fall on me and was thinking of an escape route just in case.

[Behan]

The jishin was long out in Chiba.

[omae mona]

Yeah, this is the first earthquake *ever* where I actually got off my ass and moved myself to somewhere safer. Usually I just roll my eyeballs and keep doing whatever I was doing. Now that I think of it, I wonder if the reason is that there hasn't really been a substantial earthquake in Tokyo (that I recall) for a really long time, so my adrenalin kicked in.

[gomichild]

Epicentre was in the ocean outside of the tokaido area.

[Taro Toporific]

Yeah, this is the first earthquake *ever* where I actually got off my ass and moved myself to somewhere safer.

The overseas media are already jumping on this as major "news" so I got a call from back home to ensure I was OK. I knew this was going to happen because this false alarm happens every time. I told them I was trapped under the building rubble and needed help.

[pheyton]

I was in a club, drunk leaning against a concrete wall and when it started to move I thought, I'm not that drunk. Drunk enough though to just laugh it off. Lucky it wasn't closer to the city

Don't you guys remember a big one back in 04? I was on the 6th floor of a hospital out near Noborito and that shook the shit outta the place. Perhaps because I was underground in a concrete bunker I didn't feel this one as much. That and the booze.

[Greji]

There it goes again! Somebody ought to feed that catfish!

[pheyton]

Holy shit that was a big one. Hotel was rockin and rolling. Long one too. 6.6 according to http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/ . Perhaps Japan is telling me to GTFO?

Get ready for the [color="DarkRed"]AFTERSHOCK![/color]

[gomichild]

That was a 6! Tsunami coming!

In Shizuoka. Which I am right next to!

[GuyJean]

Only a 6.4 on the richter.. Felt stronger than the 7.1 the other day.. Strange.

It's because the epicenter was closer to us than yesterday's quake.

Definitely felt bigger here than yesterday's.

[Amanojakuu]

Perhaps it's because I'm a noob to Tokyo, but both scared hell out of me
