Nov 2013

a little farther north since the March 2011 disasters, including M.7 or higher. A M5.5 quake in Japan is generally no big deal. There was a 5.5 earthquake once whose epicenter was only one lousy mile from my house. The house felt like a boat on a lake for a little bit, but the only thing that happened inside my house was that a picture stand was knocked over.
