Just watching the end of a 3 Stooges video on YT at 1:08 a.m. when it hit . Biggest one we've had since the 2 giant quakes that caused death and destruction almost 6 years ago . Rocked all of Kyushu and parts of eastern Honshu . Sure it'll make the US TV news today . We're ok here in Kumamoto , just a little shaken up . Finishing my Suntory beer before trying to get some sleep . It's almost 2 a.m.
I'll never forget the Virginia earthquake of 2011. I was living in Alexandria. I was home with my wife and baby granddaughter, when all the pots in the kitchen came crashing to the floor. My wife grabbed the baby and we ran outside.
Here's a security video taken from the top of the Washington Monument. The earthquake begins at the 1 min 31 second mark:
and the unvaccinated
Upgraded to 6.6 mag . If the depth of the quake had been 10 km like the 6.8’s we had in Kumamoto two days in a row six years back here in Kumamoto there would have been much destruction and death . This one was 40km depth . Big difference .
