Yes we had an earthquake!!

We felt our first earthquake in Japan today!! We were on the third floor of a mall out in town and suddenly the floor was shaking and EVEYONES phones in the entire store (and mall for that matter) were going off! The cell phone system here sends every phone a buzzing and alert notification during an earthquake to warn people to take cover!! Pretty cool! 

It was a very mild earthquake and we hardly noticed. I did see people have an app on their phones that cautions you with earthquake warnings! I just downloaded that for future ones....

This is where the level 5 quake originated 
We are much farther south near Yamato
