Earthquake in Kyushu

→ by Danieru
Just 10 minutes ago we had an Earthquake. I was sat in my house, RIGHT HERE! and the whole thing started to shake like its booty wasn't connected no more...

Japan doesn't use the Richter scale to determine its quake intensity, but here's what the JMA seismic intensity scale has to say about the kind of level 4 we just had:

"Many people are frightened.
Some people try to escape from danger.
Most sleeping people awake.
Hanging objects swing considerably and dishes in a cupboard rattle.
Unstable ornaments fall occasionally.
Electric wires swing considerably.
People walking on a street and some people driving automobiles notice the tremor."

Click Kyushu, on the map of seismic intensity, for a closer look.
