Ferra ~~ i didn't see earthquakes every day in Japan.
has this just been since 'the big one' in march 2011?

Ferra 08-22-2011 04:31 AM

Yes, although whether you feel them or not there's pretty much always really small ones happening around Japan. The ones we feel in Sendai are probably due to aftershocks from the big March quake, but even before then we'd get some 4.0 quakes occasionally.

strange_dreams_512 08-24-2011 03:22 AM

Yeah, not to mention the 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 ones that you barely even notice. It's to be expected being right on the ring of fire though. Like I said, just as long as you are okay.

Ferra 08-24-2011 03:43 AM

Plus, I come from the West Coast of the US so I've experienced quakes before. I think it's a lot harder on people who've never felt them since they seem overly sensitive (at least at first). I know there have been plenty of times I haven't felt the quake while someone else did. Especially if you're being active at the moment or in a vehicle.

Unrelated, but I got to meet Vice Pres. Biden yesterday! We weren't introduced or anything since he spent most time talking to the Japanese kids after his speech (which I think was the right thing to do) but he shook my hand anyways since I was in the second row. :D

there was one on the east coast of the US today.
small-ish compared to 'the big one' but still really rattled DC.

Whoa! o__o We just had a big earthquake again. No damage where I'm at (my apartment is probably fine too, assuming my TV didn't fall) but there's a tsunami warning for Miyagi-ken and Fukushima-ken. I hope people by the coast are okay.

うん、元気だよ!
ああ、いいよ。埼玉県に行った。留学したかったんですが、ちょっと高いだね。でも、六週間位研修しました。 とても楽しかっただよ!
Crap, I didn't hear about that!! I've been ignoring the news again >.< Hope everyone's okay!! I'm surprised we got an earthquake in Virginia today...everyone okay stateside?

strange_dreams_512 08-24-2011 06:21 AM

黒さん: よかった!
アメリカ? まぁ、アメリカは大丈夫ですね。 アメリカは一番大切なことがお金です。 アメリカのお金が悪 いですから、ちょっと。。。
やっぱりな、ときどき難しいですけど、いいなぁ。

kuroshinigami 08-24-2011 06:35 AM

Strange: お金かな。多分人のよって違うな。でも、今本当にお金が悪いね。Damn economy!!! でも、Virginia は、多分たくさん地震がないって。だから、ちょっと心配した。。。

strange_dreams_512 08-24-2011 06:52 AM

mm, I was just saying because I don't know much about the state of Virginia :sweat:

kuroshinigami 08-24-2011 10:26 PM

Mm, same, but I don't think they really get earthquakes there. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a lot of active fault lines on the east coast...

strange_dreams_512 08-26-2011 07:45 AM

そうですねぇ。 残念だった? アタシそのニュースをあまり聞きませんでした。

kuroshinigami 08-27-2011 12:48 AM

ああ、あまり分かない、ごめん。私も忙しいから、あまりニュズを聞かない。。。

hummy 08-27-2011 12:53 AM

kuroshinigami ~~ they usually don't get many earthquakes.
the hurricanes are the problems they have on the east coast.
*in my prayers east coast*
fair weather east coasters!

kuroshinigami 08-27-2011 03:35 AM

Yeah, I know about the hurricanes all right >.<
Fortunately I'm currently north enough not to get the brunt of it...

hummy 08-28-2011 04:37 AM


strange_dreams512 ~~ i found some of my pictures

strange_dreams_512 08-28-2011 03:37 PM

hmm? Yeah, I don't know. I just watched about flooding on the TV just now.

Send you what, hummy? xD Gum, or pictures?

hummy 08-28-2011 10:19 PM


strange_dreams512 ~~ lol, both actually.

strange_dreams_512 08-29-2011 01:23 AM

lol I might be able to snag some Xlyish gum for you. I'm sure if I looked around I could find more. Hello kitty gum, maybe? :lol: nahh haha I've just never seen Ume gum before is all. Where did you get it at? Just a normal kiosk?

And sure I will soon x3

kuroshinigami 08-29-2011 03:02 AM

I have a friend in NC, and we got hit with the storm a bit, but fortunately there wasn't much damage at my house, and my friend was fine. I actually missed the storm because I'm currently on the road, so yeah.

strange_dreams_512 08-29-2011 08:28 AM

Oh wow, really?
My brother in law is in NC right now. I wonder how he is doing .-.

kuroshinigami 09-01-2011 12:36 AM

Me too! I think if he was far enough from the coast he was probably fine even so he's probably okay :)

strange_dreams_512 09-01-2011 07:09 AM

Hmm, I have no idea, actually, where in NC he is o-o but he is with the military which makes me feel better about it I guess lol.

What all have you heard about the situation?

strange_dreams_512 09-01-2011 07:43 AM

okay lol I guess I just didn't notice. I was at my family's homes most of the times if not at the shrine or mall in a book store or clothing store most of the time, lol. Or out to eat. Ohh gosh I gotta get out my pictures noww x3

hummy 09-01-2011 07:45 AM
