Last night's adventures included a typhoon that was passing by Japan's East Coast causing intense wind and rain, an earthquake at 2 am, and thunder soon after the earthquake.
The earthquake was off the shores of Japan in the ocean but it registered s a 7.3 magnitude. This is the largest since we arrived. It woke me in the middle of the night, at precisely 2:10 am. Not only was it the largest we have felt but it also lasted the longest. It was close to double in length of the other two quakes. There was a tsunami warning affected at the coast of Japan and a tsunami of about 39 centimeters was reported. When I read this I just pictured a person standing on the coast and stomping on the wave when it came haha
The thunder was fun to listen to. It occurred just a little while after the earthquake and only last a few minutes before it was over. With the trees around us and the fact that I was laying in bed with the shades and rice paper blinds closed I wasn't able to see any lightening.
Hopefully tonight is less eventful...
