mina2 6 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Don't have the one turned on on my phone. But those bring-bring warnings of big ones that come up on tv like above sure as heck get the heart racing fast. First thing 'is it near me, is it near me'. That dude on NHK sure kept his cool. I suppose they must have training for that. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The less we hear of those the better. I missed the one yesterday, and not too big a jolt where I was. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Anyone on here high up in a high rise building last march 11th when it happened? That swaying up there must have been absolutely terrifying. Just on the NHK news here now about the 'coming attraction' 3 major quakes off western Japan they predict that the high rise swaying will last 20 minutes in Tokyo / Osaka (double what was seen on 3/11) Add to the constant 'earthquake news' we keep on getting recently.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Bar being injured, I think that must be one of the worst placed to be, however much they say it won't topple over Link to post Share on other sites
yamayamayama 2 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 "New" active fault found near Mt Fuji, calling all Gotenba area residents! 富士山東麓の地下に長さ約３０キロ・メートルの活断層がある可能性が高いことが、東京大学地震研究所の佐藤比呂志教授（構造地質学）らによる調査でわかった。 この断層が動けばマグニチュード７級の地震を起こす恐れがあり、山の一部が崩れる「山体崩壊」の引き金となる可能性も否定できないという。千葉市で２０日から始まる日本地球惑星科学連合大会で発表する。 活断層が見つかったのは、富士山東麓の静岡県御殿場市付近。陸側のプレート（地球を覆う岩板）に、伊豆半島を乗せたフィリピン海プレートが南側からぶつかる境界とみられる場所で、これまでに確認された活断層「神縄・国府津―松田断層帯」の西側に続いている。 Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 "Morning Bird" had a bit on 断層だらけ日本 this morning only caught the last bit. Seems that new faults are being added to the map all the time and, as we knew anyway, Japan is totally riddled with them. What fun! Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 That dude on NHK sure kept his cool. I suppose they must have training for that. They most definitely do, and quite often as well. But all the training I suppose can't prepare you totally for the horror of it happening. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Friend pointed this out to me, it's the JMA record of the quakes in the past week It may well update. Wonder what a similar thing looked like pre March 2011. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Interesting. Still a fair few up here as well, including the Ojiya/Yamakoshi area, though I haven't felt anything for quite a while now. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 first one ive ever gotten out of my chair for. And i did it to grab my snowboards and make sure they didnt fall My first ever 4 by the looksof it. Actually it might be my second, i think i remember a 4 hitting hama when i lived there and bricking it because i thought it was the tokai finally coming and i was on the 6th floor of one of those prefab looking apartment blocks. ETA: only a 3 where i am it turns out. Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what a similar thing looked like pre March 2011. Quite surprised at all that activity in Nagano. Can understand the north east bit as that's leftovers from last March.

pie-eater 207 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Anyone else get woken up by that one in the middle of the night? Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Most certainly did. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It was a shindo 2 apparently in Muikamachi (but of course! ) but didn't wake me up. Which surprises me. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yep. Quickly went back to sleep though. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I was woken up by my wife waking me up to tell me we had a Shindo 2... Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 i woke up just before it started. I swear to god my leopalace has a structural fault that acts as a kind of earthquake early warning system. The initial shock bounced me awake and then about 5 seconds later the place started shifting a bit. Quickly ended and went straight back to sleep. Link to post Share on other sites
Jerro 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I didn't need anyone else to tell me there was an earthquake! Link to post Share on other sites
