Quake!
May 12th, 2003
I was just wrapping things up for the night, and then the whole place started shaking, with structure-creaking sounds and all. Started at 12:57 a.m., and the news stations are calling it a 5.1 Magnitude quake (Japanese scale, not Richter) centered in northwest Chiba–but it definitely felt like a 4-pointer locally (though news reports say it was a “3” west of central Tokyo).
That’ll wake you right up.
