SO yeahh... what to do...

This morning another 6.2 earthquake hit by Chiba in the Kanto region. It shook a lot here in Tokyo since Chiba is right next to Tokyo.

Yesterday, there was a rumor that there will be a big earthquake after 4pm on 4/11 and so my mom and I decided to go to Ibaraki prefecture, where my sister works so in case an earthquake does occur, we are all together.

And did it actually happen? Yes. At four o'clock? no. It happened around 5:16pm Japan time. I was in the department store with my mom and we were waiting for my sister. While sitting on the couch/chair thingies, my phone started to vibrate. I thought it was my sister calling or I received a message so I took my time to get my phone out of my pocket. Then once I touched my phone, I noticed the vibration was faster than usual (my mind was blank and I wasn't thinking lol). THEN I noticed it was an early earthquake warning! （緊急地震速報）then it started shaking. I quickly checked my phone and it said fukushima had a huge earthquake inland so watch out for strong shaking. Then the whole building rattled so much! The scary thing is that the walls for each floor (guard rail? don't know how you call them) is made out of glass or plastic and it was dangerous to stay there. THe good thing about having earthquakes in Japan is that since earthquakes always happen in Japan, people don't go screaming and going crazy about a big earthquake. They just stay quiet, think and act calmly. Which is a GREAT thing. since it was scary, some people and I ran out of the building and finally it stopped. Luckily, no one was injured. (well the buildings are very strong so nothing happened :) )

There was a few aftershocks afterwards. After that we were all reported to go to the plaza park and stay there until they checked the shopping area. THings were fine except a few crumbled bricks or cement fell of the pillars and ceiling... or wall..

While I was wating, I checked the TV on my cell phone and there was a tsunami warning for Ibaraki prefecture.. Luckily, we were not close to the coast which is very good.

Nothing happened or no major damage from the tsunami either.

THe trains didn't work for a while but they finally did after a few hours and we quickly went back to Tokyo with my sister.

There are still big aftershocks now and like right now too... (4.8 fukushima inland) and it's making me irritated ahaha.

anyway, that's all for now.

byee :)
