We were in drydock in Yokosuka when one hit and the cranes were waving around. Scary.

I remember watching a street car slowly changing tracks just down from our house, as a whopper “up and down” quake rippled through the street. The street car was moving at maybe 2 mph but hopped off track with a shower of sparks from the overhead electric feed.
The car was marooned for about half an hour until a wrecker truck arrived and lifted it back on track.
