You may have heard that we had an earthquake late last night.  It comes shortly after the anniversary of the big earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011.  The epicenter was in the same area as this earthquake as well.  We live about 370 miles from that area, but we still felt it here.  It was a long one.  I just started to get out of bed thinking this might be the big one they keep telling us our area is going to get when the rocking stopped.  The adrenaline rush made it difficult to get to sleep.

In this picture, we are the bottom blue dot.  The prefecture where the epicenter was is at the top, north of Yokohama.

I have a link to a website that gives me information about earthquakes and other disaster warnings.  I always check it when I feel an earthquake.

The first picture is a graph that shows where it was felt.  Red is the strongest. The second picture gives the time location and magnitude.  They later updated it to a 7.4.
