As can be seen on the website of the Japan Meteorological Agency, another earthquake with shindou 5+ has occurred nearby. Supposedly it was shindou 2 in our region, but larger earthquakes always last much longer and shake in seemingly more directions (convalescing waves?) than the smaller ones. Again, shindou 5 is when it's possible items fall off shelves, so only when it's shindou 5 or up in our area something actually might affect daily life other than, oh, it's an earthquake. The first five months upon arrival were definitely more eventful than the latest five months have been. Let's hope it stays that way.
