Experienced my first earthquake in Japan today. You could feel this one easily — The building shook several times over a span of about two minutes. No damage to anything.
Earthquake epicenter was about 100 miles north of Tokyo. Registered 5.3 on the Richter scale. The USGS has more technical data on it.
From the map, it looks like the epicenter was just off the coast of Honshu. I figure it was probably Godzilla waking up from his oceanic slumber…

Posted by: Ted at January 25, 2004 10:59 AMhehe. just did some browsing to see who owns the domain patrick.com and zing! another patrick, playing videogames in tokyo, just like i did last year (working as a game-tester). 5.5 was my biggest earthquake, but godzilla probably just stirred. i guess once it’s like 7 or something it might be him waking up =)
cheers,
