i feel the earth move under my feet

Had a nice big earthquake here in japan today around midday. The building shook for ages and i felt like i could still feel my head shaking for at least another 5 mins.

Apparently the quake was a 6+ somewhere north of us in Miyagi Prefecture. It registered at around 4 here in Mito.

Nothing to be worried about though. Japan is designed to withstand these kinds of natural distasters these days. And i work in a brand new building with all the mod cons.

We dont have emergency rations in our office like i did when i worked in Tokyo though...
