I’ve probably missed a few, especially since I’m usually a kinda heavy sleeper. But today’s in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu woke me at 5:01AM. Bed felt like someone was gently shaking it and kinda got my attention. Not sure how long it lasted, maybe a minute or two. Nothing damaged in the house that I’ve noticed, though a clock fell over (and I had to replace the battery for some reason…), a cup fell out of the kitchen cabinet (which I’d left open, oops) and a penguin figure fell off its shelf (there were no injuries). Apparently it was a 4 on the 1-7 Japanese scale in my area (which means shaking and things falling over, but no damage). It was a 5 in Hiroshima, according to reports, so maybe some slight damage in the city. [...] […] Up until this morning I’d only noticed one earthquake in the almost two years I’ve been here.
