The quake this morning is the third to rock Tokyo in four days. It was the smallest of the three, just 5.0 at the epicentre out to sea around the same area as the first two. (the meteo agency website conform the 3rd quake to be 6.5, but our building definietely did not sway as much as the last two quakes at 6.6 and 6.9). This time, I was almost ready, with my camera in hand, wanting to record the building sway in video. It ended before I could click the start button.
The local govt has been persistently advising its residents to get prepared (food, drink, torchlight, radio, tent, even keeping passport copies somewhere else). Maybe they persistently announce their advice as a matter of routine, but they do fan expectation that the Tokyo area is due for its next once-in-100-years quake.
Domestically, there is a switch in mood too. Last night, Grace wanted to limit Kimberley's time on www.clubpenguin.com. This morning when Kimberley asks to play clubpenguin, Grace says
'Let her enjoy!'
