Tokyo Earthquake

Soon after our return to Tokyo from Hakone, we experienced our very first earthquake in Tokyo, from 13th floor!
Within minutes of the shake, TV caption indicated a Scale 4 quake. The building shook, first vertically and then sideways. The whole process took about 2 minutes. We left the front door opened just in case there was a need to evacuate. I could see no neighbour outside along the corridors. If they didnt feel they were in danger, I felt I had time for any drink, so we went inside again. No more tremour after that, fortunately.
