Quakes

May 9th, 2008

We just felt another one. This was somewhat closer, a 4.5 magnitude quake just north of Chiba City, not far from the eastern Tokyo border.

Meanwhile, quakes continue to rock the same fault off the coast of Honshu that produced the larger quakes yesterday early morning. The USGS reports twenty quakes over 4 in that area, including a 4.9 just an hour ago.

Update: we didn’t feel it, but a 5.6 just hit the active area off the coast.

    Mr.Poza, aren’t you a little bit scared of earthquakes in Japan? Me, either.
