When one is half awake in bed, it is sometimes tough to tell if the room is shaking or if you're just imagining it. So far, that's the case for me this morning. While I'm pretty sure there was an earthquake about half an hour ago, it is yet to be reported. However, in addition to the seemingly subtle swing of my bedroom, I also have some circumstantial evidence in my living room. One of my Beatles records I recently bought is now lying face down, a good seven inches below where it had been standing proudly last night. I'll keep an eye on the news, but I just figured I'd make it clear that everything is strawberry fields and golden slumbers over here.
Edit: After half a day nothing has been reported, so I think it's safe to say there was no earthquake. Maybe I was only sleeping...On a possibly related note, I found out last week that the largest known earthquake on the Japanese mainland occurred in 1891, known as the Mino-Owari Earthquake. Its epicenter was not only in this prefecture, but specifically in this city! More on that later!
