I'll purposely make that a really open sort of topic title so you folks in places that also get shook up from time-to-time can stick in news from your area.Me, I'm in Japan and have been for a few decades and I am sure you folks know what happened to us on March 11th, 2011.So I have been sort of keeping a closer eye on our jishin activity (jishin = earthquake) and this morning we had a CUTE one.5.1 magnitude just off the coast of extreme western Fukui Prefecture and -- get this -- 360km deep. Yep, that's 3 digits there!And it registered on our little sensors over on the other side of Japan in Fukushima Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture.I just did a bit of research and that area of Fukui doesn't seem to have had such a deep quake in a very long time, if EVER. Note "a bit" of research. No time right now for more.But that is a weird shake for us and that's saying something, because we get all kinds of weird shakes in this area of the world.A number of earthquake web sires are available.Japan:http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/tag/earthquake/USA:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/Europe:http://www.emsc-csem.org/#2Asia:http://earthquaketrack.com/v/asia/recentWorldwide:http://newsblogged.com/Or just Google 'Earthquake News'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply I needed links to sites to get information -- I have all sorts of links. I was just posting some recent news on the sunject. Have I erred in some way? Such sorts of topics aren't allowed?Nothings wrong. Say what you want. It is off topic.I SELDOM feel earthquakes. I live in California. I asked my wife if we should move to Nebraska. She said no because they have tornadoes there. Well, your wife is right about a tornado being a very unkind Mother Nature event. I lived in Oklahoma back in the mid-70s and had the unfortunate experience of driving into Wichita Falls right after they had a really nasty tornado hit.We used to drive into TEXAS to get a better beer to take back to Ft Sill where we were stationed. Don't know about now, but used to be the beer in Oklahoma was so weak. I think it was the same on the post/fort to conform to local laws, but was a long time ago and now I'm wondering about that.Anyway, I've seen what a twister can do and it ain't nice.Of course, earthquakes aren't so nice either, some of the times. We have them so MUCH over here, especially since March 11th, 2011, that it's gotten to where I can pretty much judge the rough location by the feel of the shake. Like that one we had recently that was very bad in Nagano Prefecture -- that one I knew right away was not in one of the usual areas and that it was a bad one. And it sure was a bad one. But I don't think we've had any deaths from it, if nobody has died of injuries. But given how bad it was it really is amazing Mother Nature didn't claim any of us poor humans when She pulled that stunt on us.Of course, if Mother Nature has Internet access and is reading this post I apologize to Her and will do/give/observe proper reflection on my bad manners as shown in my choice of vocabulary in this post, as in calling Her events stunts. What a crude human I am.
