Shakin' All Over
Aug. 12th, 2009 12:41 amAnd once again, I would like to say that I am still fine after this morning's earthquake.
NHK can tell you all about it.
I've experienced a stronger quake than that before (it was around a 4 here) so I wasn't too worried about it, though it did wake me up moments before the shaking started. It's slightly weird lying in bed wondering if the wobbling things around you are signalling the "big one" everyone is predicting. What especially freaked people out was the duration of the quake - it was pretty long as far as standard quakes go, the third long and strong one in as many days too.
Still packing. I've been informed that my apartment will be shut down after I leave, so I can take what I like with me. Which means nice microwave, fan and saucepans, if they'll fit in the car. Hurrah.
