More on the earthquake...

There wasn't much info on the internet about this morning's earthquake when I updated right after it happened, but I just found this video tonight:




And the picture in this article is a wall in Shizuoka that I photographed Hiromi in front of.

Apparently, in Shizuoka, there is the Tokai Earthquake theory, which says basically that about every 100-150 years, a huge earthquake hits Shizuoka. The last Tokai Earthquake was in 1854, which means the next one is expected any day now.
This is an online copy of a booklet I have here in my apartment.
Eek.

That's INSANE!!! I've never had the joy of experiencing an earthquake, it looks exciting! (kidding!) I'm glad you're alright!
