Those of you who keep up with the news may have heard that there was an earthquake in Japan early this morning. We just wanted to let everyone know that we're fine.
We were actually awake in Kyle's apartment when it happened--sometime after midnight--and the walls started to shake all of a sudden. Sitting on the floor, Lydia and I gave each other "What the hell?" looks, but Kyle, unconcerned, just said, "So yeah, this is an earthquake."
We ended up just sitting on the floor waiting it out for the next few seconds, which in retrospect was pretty dumb, since all the survival guides say to stand under a doorway. Fortunately, it was relatively small in our area (we found out after surfing the net that it was much worse to the north of us). Nothing fell, nothing broke, just a little shaking.

I'm glad you guys are all right! In your comment it sounds like Kyle is totally cool with the fact!
Earthquakes in Japan is rather common. I was however on the look-out last July 18 for a big one in the Philippines. A psychic predicted an 8.1 magnitude earthquake on that day. Whew!!Thank goodness he was wrong.
Hey, tell K and W to watch Journey's concert in Japan later this year.

Leika, you should have brought the Revelation cd/dvd of Journey to Japan and give it to Kyle and Will when you asked what to bring for them? And you laughed at the idea because there's no way they will like it.......not cool according to you.
Next time you should listen to mom because I always know best, right?
I remember my first earthquake experience.
I also remember another one being on the 12th floor of a hotel. WTF for sure.
