I’m in Kansai, and felt it even here. When it kept going and going and going, I KNEW it was gonna be bad - I was here for the 311 Tohoku quake, and that’s what that one felt like.

I'm on the West coast and I was surprised at how long it was. The last 15 seconds of the quake seemed like we were just wobbling on jello.

If you’re on the west coast, I hope you’re away from the shore, since they’re saying the bigger tsunami is coming.

Yeah, we're not in danger, fortunately.

Anyone catch the deep bow apology from the JMA spokesperson on NHK?

I couldn't tell just what he was apologizing for. Saying they mis-rated a shake a 7M, and then downgraded it to a 4M. But it's still 7.5M from what I can tell. Maybe just one particular tremor in the swarm?

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm and helping out the neighbors in the new year.

My family went wild with messages -- yet I didn't feel a thing in Tokyo
