Anyone else feel that?

3:27am September 30, 2011

4.3 Magnitude
Only 2 Intensity; 50 km deep
Centered just off the southwest coast of Motobu Peninsula 

General Lee Oblivious --- 13 years ago -

I did. Dang thing woke me up.

This earthquake poses no tsunami risk.

If it did, are you prepared to evacuate quickly if you live in a coastal area?
Where would you go? How do you get there? What do you bring? You may have as little as 15 minutes to be in a safe place.
This was discussed on the local news again recently.

Defintely felt that! I am pulling an all nighter cleaning session and it scared me good! The only casualty was my trash bag leaning against the wall in the kitchen...it fell over. sToO-Where do you get your info? I still do not see it this quake listed on the USGS site or the JMA site.

Didn't bother the dog but I'm finishing an early cup of joe thanks to the little shaker ;-).

JMA clicky link

Thank you. I looked at that site several minutes after the quake, but it only showed one on Mainland at that time. Thanks again. I should have known to check OU first b/c you always come through with the info!!

Here is another link, but in Japanese
tenki.jp website link

The USGS website just posted it .

I looked at that site several minutes after the quake, but it only showed one on Mainland at that time.

The current/ latest earthquake is shown on the main JMA page. There are many everyday on a normal day in Japan, so one quake gets bumped (pardon the pun) by the next one.
You have to scroll back using the {Previous Information} oval clicky thingy just above the blue map box. 

sToO --- 13 years ago -

The USGS website lists this quake Magnitude as a 5.0 and not 4.3 as reported by JMA and tenki.jp websites. That is a big difference in reporting. 

GAOKI Girl --- 13 years ago -

Good to know. Thanks again!! Back to cleaning:( 

GAOKI Girl --- 13 years ago -

Yeah I saw that. Wonder why that is. Wasn't there a difference between the 2 agencies after the earthquake back in March?
