Earthquake in Tokyo

Alright. This is weird. I felt an earthquake this evening. It was my first one. Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the fact that my wife yelled to me after dinner. I then saw the water in our glasses moving nd then I felt a few jolts. It's weird to actually feel your home move! Now; the quake hit Tokyo the hardest. It must have been fairly strong because Kobe is quite far from Tokyo.


I went to Twitter and saw that my Tokyo Peeps, although shaken (pardon the pun) all seem to be alright! "Ganbatte" to all the Tokyo folks!
