the second quake

Tokyo, 2009.08.11

So it seems that this morning's quake (the second in less than 60 hours) was stronger than I knew. The one on Sunday was a 6.9 located some 340km underground. Today's was a 6.6, but felt weaker here in Tokyo because it was some 150km away (and very close to the surface).

When this one hit at 05:00, both Mari and Kenny slept right through it. I was woken, but I'm a soft touch in the morning (unlike night time).

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
