griller 9 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ishikawa 6強! Big one. Anyone in that area? Link to post Share on other sites
midnightcharger2 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 felt it out here in Nagano city, A small tremor and lasted only 10 seconds Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 4 here even though we are quite a way off and there are lots less between here and Ishikawa. Even a 5弱 somewhere in Niigata. Seems we must be on a particularly wobbly part of land here. The Joetsu Shinkansen between Nagaoka and Niigata has been stopped for the moment. Hope everyone is fine.

indosnm 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Mee too. Looking out the window, I thought... "shit, why is everything moving out there?" kids were running around etc etc and sure enough we were swaying big time! Lasted for a while here.. maybe 1 min as I think also we have a pretty unstable base. Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It was just on the news and if I understood correctly they were saying that this earthquake was in a place that was unexpected for one this size. Wasn't both the Kobe and Niigata ones like that also - in places that were not expected to get biggies? Link to post Share on other sites
Tesselator 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The one this morning? We all felt it here! Every one in the house ran out into the street. Well you would too if you lived in a 80 year old 2 story house. This is in Aichi-Ken Nagoya btw. . Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 1 dead so far it seems. Didn't feel it but it brings back the worry of earthquakes - hadn't heard much of late. (Did Rahul predict this one? ) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 just got another quake. only 3 this time. feels like I'm living in Gunma again. I missed the big one this morning as I was in an elevator in Nagano city. The elevator shook but didn't stop. I guess it's a good thing cuz we just got out and everybody was saying earthquake?. Beats being stuck in an elevator Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hakuba probably got rocked a bit there. Didn't feel anything here, seems to have ripped a few roads up though. Tesselator, is that impressive looking beard all yours? Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I slept thru it, although it probably wasn't that big in Tokyo. I got the USGS e-mail when I woke up at 10:30, threw the coordinates into Google Earth and BAM - it was right off the coast of Ishikawa (where my wife's gma lives!). We called grandma - she's ok.

muikabochi 208 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 That one woke me up with a jolt though you got it much more than down here joshnii. A friend in Niigata city said it was more powerful there than the Chuetsu jishin. I see they are having lots of aftershocks (one of which woke me up again this morning! ) - -- lets hope you don't get them going on for what seems like forever and more like we did!!
