slow 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Earthquake!! It was pretty big. I felt earth tremor from the floor for five seconds before shaking. It was like Godzilla was walking to my apartment! So I could forecast big shaking was coming. It was weird... Aaaaaaaa bikkuri shita! Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 pretty big here in Nakano also. Have some friends overseas from Germany, first-time to Japan, staying on 30th floor at a Shibuya hotel. Wonder how much they're freaking out... Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I knew we'd have to have at least one shaker while my parents were still here to complete their Japan experience (they leave on the weekend). They did after all have the recent typhoon, too. Yes, it was quite a big rattler. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'm curious to know if montoya's friends felt it or not. Tall buildings have to have quake-absorbing structure. So maybe they didn't feel?? Link to post Share on other sites

HoTRoD 2 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 A strong earthquake jolted Tokyo and other parts of the Kanto region late Wednesday, meteorological officials said. The earthquake, which hit the capital and the Kanto region at about 11:40 p.m., registered a lower 5 on the 7-point Japanese scale in the Ibaraki Prefecture areas of Tsukuba and Sekijo, and in Miyashiro, Saitama Prefecture, officials said. The intensity registered 4 in several wards of Tokyo, Meteorological Agency officials said.
