I have to say, people here are a little unusually concerned because there have been a number of quite strong earthquakes in this region of Japan fairly close together over the last week or so. I was a bit disappointed because they all happened at about 6am and I was fast asleep and didn't notice at all, except being half-conscious of the one on Monday.
The two massive earthquakes off Indonesia since Boxing Day last year, plus the huge one in Kashmir, plus a big one in Niigata (NW Japan) a year ago have all contributed to the sense that Tokyo is next. People are worried that the earthquakes this week could be the medium-sized ones that preceded the Big One, which has been overdue for some ten, twenty years now. It's either going to be us or California... and either way we're on different ends of the same tectonic plate...
Apparently the Bible Code has the words Big Earthquake and Japan encoded near the year 2006 or something. You turn a blind eye to it all so as to get on with your life, but when you do think about it, it's not actually a very nice feeling at all.
In any case, if it does happen, I'll try and post a blog as soon as possible to let you know I'm okay.
