Earthquake? Nah...

A story I forgot to write about.

On April 15th, while I was going to the hanami, the train was a little late. The driver was apologizing for that almost every station (and it may be boring if you have to stay in the train during most of its route), but wouldn't tell the reason for the delay.

Ok, should be just another accident at some crossing or such. Its the usual reason. Railroad crossings are usually places where accidents are most likely to happen. It's not that hard to find out why. Ok, whatever.

But then, during the hanami, people were asking if I felt the earthquake...

Earthquake?

Yep, there was an earthquake not so far from here, and it's said that it was enough to shake things, especially above the 2nd floor. Aw... I wasn't at home, and I live at the 1st floor... It also hurted some people and damaged some buildings according to this report.

I don't know... by the time they said the earthquake happened I was inside the train (which explains why it was late), but I didn't feel anything. Or I thought it was the natural shaking of the train.

After some searching I found that some hours later there was even another earthquake, which I didn't feel also. Anyway, this one was weaker anyway, and probably wasn't even felt at the surface.

So, as for my earthquake experience in Japan, so far I still consider it null. Although I've been in places where it could be felt...
