Earthquake

I guess the upside of seismic activity in Japan is monkeys in hot springs, whilst the downside is the earth likes to ACTUALLY BLOODY MOVE every once in a while.

Recently people have been talking about earthquakes; people have been woken up in the middle of the night swearing they felt one, stuff like that. But today my phone started making an alarming siren noise and, whilst the message title was 'Earthquake notice', the rest of the message was helpfully in Japanese so I have no idea what it said.

A quick google led me to the Japanese Meteorological Society where, it turned out, 3 minutes previously there had been an earthquake somewhere north of Tokyo at 5.8 on the richter scale. Sweet huh?
