This morning we experienced yet another earthquake, around 5 am Japan Time. It woke us up, though Kira apparently slept through it. I thought that it was part of a dream, so when I finally got out of bed, I checked the Internet for any information. This was about a 6.6 magnitude quake, feeling like a 3 or 4 magnitude where we are. Wonder if any other quakes will be following. The typhoon/tropical storm bypassed us. Yay!
One more week until Gale gets back from his 3 1/2 week TDY to Maryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore. He visited the campus this week as well. First time back in a looooong time!

Earthquake #2
As the kiddos were getting ready for bedtime, we experienced earthquake #2. Interestingly, it is just about a year since we felt the last one, just as we moved into our house here in Yokota. Tonight, the rumbling lasted quite awhile, sounding almost like a helicopter was hovering right above the house. I was on the computer when I felt the computer desk shake. The kids thought it was kinda cool! The earthquake was a 6.9 magnitude earthquake...somewhere east of Tokyo.
And I will try and update the blog this week.
And I will try and update the blog this week.
Hmmm...I guess I should be updating more often
Wow, it's been awhile since I updated. I guess I should catch up on the past few months. Maybe tomorrow.
