swaying around

There was a big earthquake in Sendai today (M7.2) which is several kilometers north of Tokyo. We felt it here though! The earthquake went on for a really long time too. I don't think I've felt one last that long before. A bit freaky.

Apparently there was a tsunami - but it was only a few inches high. This is normal for Japan. They are also small in height. (The ones that have occurred since I have lived here anyway).

Anyway, it has already hit the international news wires, so this post is just to let my family know that I'm ok. So far the only injuries were in Sendai where a pool roof collapsed.
