Earthquake
We just had the biggest earthquake I've ever felt. Tons of stuff fallen down in the house and broken. I'm still shaking!

Reports say it was 7.9, don't know if that's Richter or Japanese scale. That's it, I'm out of Japan this year.

Re: Earthquake
Everything is still working so far here in Tokyo, damage to older buildings by the looks of it. Ceiling caved in in one old building in the centre of town.
