M5.3 quake strikes Ibaraki, Tochigi

The house shook for quite a while. Hard to believe it only rated a 2 here.

 

I felt that one, too, and I remember thinking it was a pretty big one. Of course, I fell back asleep immediately and therefore completely forgot about it until I read this.

 

Long drawn out quake. Fortunately it was more side to side than up and down, but that first shock did seem up and down so I was pretty worried about it. Headed right for the door.

 

I live at 14 floor of a building that has whatever rubber thing earthquake resistance system, which probably is good. However, at each earthquake, even small, the building moves like hell. I don't wanna experience a big one here

 

I dreamed I was lying in bed in an earthquake, and it was true.

The wife dreamed she was skiing but had only got one pole so she had to wiggle it about to stay on her feet. I woke up with a smile on my face.
