WHELP! Good thing I didn't pull the strings on that yet! XD Ok plan T! (funnily enough this is the 2nd time this happened when I was hoping to gift something to someone but the 1st time she was atheist! That was an epic fail but this is more so. XD)

Should we make a dedicated thread for the recent earthquakes and move the posts over from here so they're not buried?

Left out the posts debating Shingo's religious preferences though. Giggles. Well they were in the Spam section.. Thanks for the new thread. My hope is that the rest of the year is not as seismic. So sad though. Japan's Kumamoto quake. Geology assessment (I find this fascinating) Human toll update - 42 fatalities, 9 still missing, 1000+ injuries. Equador quake. Human toll update - 272 fatalities (so far - they haven't even gotten to the hardest hit areas yet), 2000+ injuries.

It's not only the aftershocks. Today there was heavy rain which slowed down everything - repairs, rescue attempts, getting goods to shelters - and also increased the danger of landslides. the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002893733

One up north in Ibaraki just triggered now. Initial reports are a 5.7. Just happened so we have no other reports than my twitter blowing up with everyone in Tokyo going "I had 1 second warning where the hell was that?"..

Luckily Japan is so prepared and their building structures are way above any other country that they don't have to fret about earthquakes that would otherwise level other countries. I count that as good news!

Pray for South Korea.
Yesterday, it had became the biggest magnitude in history with 5.1. Almost around the whole South Korea heard the rumble, and 4 nuclear reactors are closed for the concerns of the earthquake. Gyeongju is the place where the earthquake hitted.

I was about 50 miles from the epicenter of the 7.1 that hit Alaska in January. Biggest quake I've ever been in. Woke me up in the middle of the night, and I was legit scared. Stuff fell off my shelves, pictures off walls. I didn't hear of any real damage or injuries around town (mainly due to Alaska's sparseness). But boy did it shake good. The weirdest part was in the middle of the quake, the direction of the shaking switched so that it was perpendicular to what it was. I.e. it was shaking forward and backward for like a minute, then started going left and right at around the same magnitude for another minute. I didn't think quakes did that. Or maybe I was just imagining things. But yeah it was big.

Dammit.. 7.3 off of Fukushima. This is closer than last time and further south. Prayers as they are awaiting a 3 meter tsunami.

Third one I've felt since I've been here btw. I'm always sleeping when they happen. They tend to wake me up but I'm generally too groggy to fully understand what's going on or the extent. It felt long but time passes by in weird fashions when you're groggy. My co-workers said it lasted a solid minute.

It felt long but time passes by in weird fashions when you're groggy. My co-workers said it lasted a solid minute. I was checking twitter when one of the guys I follow in Tokyo was going "wow that was a long one".. and immediately noticed the top 4 worldwide trends were all in Japanese.. I'm happy that so far it was scary but not damaging. I'm happy they were spared the destruction of the previous disaster considering it was in the exact same place 5 years ago. Scary when it's in the morning when people are still asleep or groggy. Those minutes you lose while waking up would be a problem if there was serious issues going around. Really scary. Glad it was nothing more than minor inconvenience.
