Small Quake
March 24th, 2008
There was a small but noticeable quake just a few minutes ago. Strangely, about five minutes before that, I swore I felt a quake, but the ceiling lamp didn’t sway visibly (as it did with the larger quake just a few minutes ago), so I discounted it. Also strangely, the larger quake so far has not been noted by the usual quake sites I visit.
Hmm.
Update: OK, it was a 5.6 quake off the coast of Fukushima. Mystery solved.
Ganbatte!
Perhaps the frequencies were too high to get the lamp to shake. Perhaps hanging something smaller would shake.
Alternatively you can leave a water bottle half full. The water will usually swish around quite noticeably with any tremors.
