Earthquake

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.

After that unbelievably wicked typhoon we had last week that uprooted trees and knocked down traffic lights, I'm almost disappointed that I didn't feel a single tremor out here in Hiroshima. I did watch the coverage of the earthquake on the news, though, and according to this article (http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp?flok=FF-RTO-roitz&idq=/ff/story/0002%2F20041023%2F2204728122.htm&sc=roitz), there were more than 240 (!!) aftershocks continuing into Sunday w/possibly more on the way. It sounds like they had some *major* damage out there in Niigata and surrounding areas. Mother Nature is definitely not happy this year.
