Exclamation Small earthquake today

At about 2pm Tokyo time I was sitting in a board (bored) room in Gotemba when I felt it. I don't know what it was on rigter scals, but it was first time I avctually feelt an earth quake. It was not what I expected. It really felt like the ripple affect when your on a ship and it gets rocked by waves. That's exactly what it felt like. It was coming from north of Fuji-san, I believe. The buildings wasnt damaged or nothing, but it was an experience. I dont know it was big at the epicenter. I might have been and be on the news.

It must have been from Hokkaido. I didn't think a 4.8 would reach from Hokkaido to Shizuoka prefecture, though.

Here's a good site: http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/ You can scroll down to click on the latest quakes in any area. (One of the kids just did a science project about them.....thus my link knowledge.....LOL!)

I wonder if anyone else saw that special on Discovery last night on Yellowstone National Park. THAT was scary!

I saw something on that, don't know if it would be the same thing. Its pretty scary, it made me glad not to live in America. I doubt it will happen in our lifetimes though.

I lived in West Hills (aboiut 3 miles from Northridge) during the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

7.4 at like 3:00 am

I was trapped in my room because my bookcase fell over and blocked my door. Our block wall in the backyard fell down. Half my school was condemed (I went to school in Northridge)
