aftershocks

Writing this may be tempting fate.... but the aftershocks have started to drop off noticeably.  Yesterday there was just one for the whole day. The 18th and 19th also had just one aftershoock.  It's been a while since I have felt one, but not feeling them doesn't mean they are not happening.  There have often been 10 or more aftershocks in a day and the only reason I know about them is from checking the Japan Meteorological agency website.


But now... they are actually happening much less.


Fingers crossed.

Definitely good news. Hoping they are really slowing down and you don't get any over the holiday season. Hoping you have a safe and Merry Christmas - as much as can be this Christmas. xxx

This is good news...I am praying that this shaking stops! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...stay safe, happy and healthy!!

I haven't felt any in a long time, and my "brain quakes" have diminished too.

Do you check the meteorological site everyday? And don't you have the warning thing on your keitai? Are you very worried, or just curious?

If I feel an aftershock tonight, I'm totally blaming you for jinxing me! LOL

Uh-oh! There was a biggish one, about 4 in certain parts of Tokyo, on January 1st. What a way to start 2012! I think we shouldn't throw away the bottled water quite yet. Happy New Year, nonetheless! :)

Back in Tokyo after a being up north.
We didn't feel the earthquake in Akita but once the earthquake happened in NZ, I figured there would be another one here.... The seismic activity increased quite a bit after it...
I am no seismologist but they seem to be bouncing off each other....
