Just watching the end of a 3 Stooges video on YT at 1:08 a.m. when it hit . Biggest one we've had since the 2 giant quakes that caused death and destruction almost 6 years ago . Rocked all of Kyushu and parts of eastern Honshu . Sure it'll make the US TV news today . We're ok here in Kumamoto , just a little shaken up . Finishing my Suntory beer before trying to get some sleep . It's almost 2 a.m.
Stay safe.
It’s late ; I goofed . I meant WESTERN Honshu .
hang on...get outside of possible
最大震度5強の地震
Pretty heavy quake, but not severe. It looks like it was right under an island I stayed at several years ago called Uguru-shima.
Always more frightening at night . He 2 giant ones we 6 years ago were both at night - 1 in the morning and 9 in the evening .

Was only in a mild quake one time.
Didn’t even know it until I heard it in news radio.
Was such a weird feeling.
Thought maybe I was having a mild heart attack.

The easy, back and forth quakes usually didn’t cause harm or damage.
It was the big up and down movements that could derail traffic.
