Shakin' All Over
Jul. 25th, 2008 08:29 amWhenever we have a large earthquake I like to check it out at the Japan Meterological Earthquake. I like how the map goes from this to this.
That was the third noticeable earthquake we've had in the past week. Two of them were during the day while I was at work. Sitting on the 8th floor during a quake is quite interesting as the building seems to continue swaying for quite a long time. I also found it amusing when my class of business-men had a freak out in response to a tiny quake. Of course, I won't find it funny when my flimsy apartment collapses about me...
The quake on Wednesday night was a little different from the others. I was lying on my sofa and thought that I was having a vertigo moment as I felt a little dizzy. Turns out that it was vertical movement of the quake before the horizontal set my light and bookcase swinging. Hmmm, the hazard geographer in me can't help but get excited about it all. Ghoulish.
