Rude Awakening
February 16th, 2005
As if I don’t have enough trouble getting to sleep…
Just a few hours after I managed to doze off, I was awakened rather sharply by the room moving around beneath me. A particularly strong quake shook us up here at 4:46 am. It felt like one of the stronger quakes I’ve felt, and no wonder–it was a 5.4 and the epicenter was not far, only fifty kilometers or so from where I live. Central Tokyo must have felt the jolt even stronger. Needless to say, it took me a few minutes to get back to sleep after that one.
So I wake up this morning, and we have some snow. At least here in the Tama area. None on the ground as yet, but still, a nice touch–as long as it’s this cold and precipitating, I’d rather have snow than rain.
Dude, just keep smoking your whatever.
It didn’t happen…
Just like the rest of your posts. It’s a conspiracy.
Ah hah. The earthquake didn’t happen. Okay. Right.
I hate earthquakes!
