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).
