grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Shindo 4 and it was the boy that woke you up?!? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Was a shindo 4 where we live. Woke up and thought why the hell was my son crying and then it clicked. Is this the son that is not mobile MIJ? Poor fella. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 He's mobile alright, just that a shindo 4 at 1:30am is enough to wake him up. As you know with kids, and sleeping dogs, let them lie if you value your precious time. Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 That one was a shaker. Weird, I am sure I woke up seconds before the movement, though there was probably movement that woke me that I wasn't aware of. Spooky. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 whee, that was fun. Im claiming that one as my first proper 4 then since the last one was a paltry 3. Was actually on the running machine at the gym at the time. Kinda fun. But because it was my first earthquake in there i had no idea if the tvs were going mental because the structure was relatively unsound or not Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 There's been a few moderate ones more inland, north of Tokyo/Saitama area of late. It was a 1 here apparently and I was upstairs but didn't feel it. I'm sure the machine that does the readings for Muikamachi must be positioned on top of a huge supply of jelly or something.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Recorded that. Any good? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Was OK. Just generally saying that under Japan has been seriously screwed up by March 11th last year and we could be in for a prolonged period of big activity. Under Tokyo (convincing arguments) and it wouldn't be too surprising to see Fuji blow her load. And other volcanos. Basically, we're doomed! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Let's face it, Tokyo has been overdue a big one for quite a few years now, historically speaking. And with last year distorting all those rock thingies something bad, we shouldn't be surprised that a big quake hitting Tokyo is very probably going to happen sometime soon.

onsen tamago 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 That Megaquake series is quite interesting, though they could do without the "drama" bits and equally dramatic music throughout. It's funny I think people have said that Tokyo is overdue for quite a while now. The recent events seems to have brought that forward somewhat. But really other than having a grab bag etc, what preparation can be done by you and me? Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that, getting people to get closets and stuff fixed to the walls and things like that is a good start. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 a flippant comment made to me by a mate actually made me think.......on the subject of Fuji blowing her load, he said "I should invest in a boat, as there'll be no flights leaving Tokyo". I hadn't actually thought about that before, I wonder how most of the airports would cope....Iceland's volcanic explosion really messed up flights for most of the northern hemisphere!!

scouser 4 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Well, apparently if Fuji did blow her wad, so to speak, the wind would more than likely be taking it over Tokyo within a few hours. Planes would be well and truly grounded. Get a rubber dinghy, Tubby. Cheaper than a boat. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think on that Megaquake programme they said Tokyo would be 10cm under ash within an hour or so. Winds often blowing east towards Tokyo. Or something. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 There wa an article in the paper my wife saw saying that throughout hstory after a big Tohoku quake like the one we had last year always within 10 years Fuji blows her top and this has happened 100% of the time. So if thats the case then we have at most 9 years before this happens. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 What I don't get it.... if Fuji is a girl, why has she got a load to blow? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 well she had a short trip over to Thailand for a small "op" and they managed to make the outward bitties look all nice and girlish but the inside plumbling is still all manly!! Link to post Share on other sites
