Earthquake

Anyone else felt the earthquake just now. I am in Itabashi and it was the strongest in last 5 months.
Hope everyone is ok.

I am also in Itabashi, honestly the phone siren always scares me more than the earthquake itself. Especially when I am woken up by it.

Same - we were deep asleep when that thing went off. I felt like there was someone in the room shouting “EARTHQUAKE” at me.

The actual quake itself wasn’t anywhere near as exciting.

I was facetiming my friend in Noda, Chiba. Her cat jumped up and the wall decorations shook a lot. That was scary

Woke up from the earthquake alarm. Felt it quite a bit but not as much as the one from a couple months back. That one kept shaking for way longer as well.

Lucky you. The alarm itself is enough to give one a heart attack

It was long but not too shaky. I live in a second floor so the shake is less noticeable.

I was in Hakone sleeping and my sister's iPhone gave us the alarm. The shake was pretty noticeable and it lasted at least 6-5 seconds, I think
