September 21st 7:17am. It was Sunday morning and we were actually still in bed. I think I was woken up from the jolt, but didn't realize what it was. I heard a sound like the floor in the living room was cracking and noticed our lanterns in the bedroom were moving so... we were having an earthquake.
It was only a 4.8 but right under our feet almost. It's weird when the earthquakes come from far away you will feel more of a swaying of the building and hear it in the walls. But when they are closer you hear and and feel it more from the floor. Its interesting. Must be the ripple effect. There's been a couple of typhoons also below us down by Taiwan so we had a couple of days of rain and a storm one night from it. The guy who cuts my hair just told me the other day that this summer has been weird that it never rains this much and they normally never have this many earthquakes in this area. I guess some of the Japanese people are getting a little cautious of a bigger one coming. I just hope we are not here. I'm starting to get used to the ones where you feel 1-4. Because I know whats going on. So I really hope we don't experience anything over that.
I think the earthquakes have been one of our biggest adventures since we got here!!:)
