I live in Ota-ku Tokyo. I felt it, it woke me up! I had to ask my husband if he felt it too, because I thought maybe I imagined it, but he said he felt it.
It must have been a decent size to have woken him up... I wonder where it started from?
I live in Chuo ku and I believe the level is two.
Maybe level depends on places. I heard that small differences in conditions of grounds affect the degree.
Thought I was dreaming but oh wow it was real....huh. I live in Denenchofu area, Tokyo and yeah was up because of that earthquake...only for a couple minutes though and then back to sleep until 9:30.
My apartment is kinda old, no wonder it rocked harder and made me think it was bigger than level 3.
I dunno about getting out of your apartment. In NZ, as kids, we were always told to get under a strong table or doorway. Apparently outdoors is a no-no. You've got np protection from falling objects such as glass, powerlines etc.
You did it! My God!
Your drop caused world-wide caos and George decided to use $ 100 billion to solve the problem.
Do not drop it again, otherwise, US fed gov will go bankrupt!
Live in Tokyo,Bunkyo-ku.
It was a big side shake, only once.
Me and my wife got up and prepared for another one but didn't happen.
I am accustomed to earth quake in Tokyo for we have them frequently.
Yet, I'm worry that the ground became rather sofy due to heavy rain in summer
so if big vertical shake hit us,we will get damaged for certain.
If a "level-3" earthquake freaks you out, you must not be used to earthquakes in Japan at all. I used to live in Tokyo. We had stronger quakes at least once every half year. ;-)
