Earthquake

[imomus]

Anybody in Japan with eyewitness reports of the strong earthquake that just happened there? BBC TV just had a very shaky video clip showing both the Tokyo tower and the Mori Roppongi Hills building shuddering for what looked like a rather long time.

The quake which hit San Francisco in 1989 felt vaguely like strong turbulence, but yes, more primal. You don't expect for what feels like the entire earth to experience turbulence. Quite exciting, actually. Makes me wish the earth shook constantly. There's not nearly enough motion on land. Maybe then we'd live in large spheres, and migrate like those antarctic weather balls.
