We experienced our first earthquake while we were awake on Sunday, around 2pm. It was a magnitude of 5.0 which is significantly less than the one we experienced a week ago which was a 7.1. However, this earthquake occurred over 43 miles underground and was still felt throughout Tokyo and Chiba. Kelly was at the dinning room table alone when it happened. She said it is much scary when you are alone and awake because you instantly realize the disaster than can come from such an earthquake. She said the earthquake was long enough that she began to question whether she cold be going under the table or if it will stop soon.
What did Seth, Marley, and I think of the earthquake?
Nothing.
We were riding the trains and didn't feel a thing! Its weird to think that we didn't notice anything while on the train. We didn't feel anything sway more than normal nor did we notice things outside moving either.
So much for our first daytime earthquake...
