Earthquake

I had a nice and early start this morning. A 5.0 earthquake nearly shook me out of bed at 6:38 am. I was dead asleep, too. I did the usual and immediately ducked into a doorway, and even though it felt long, it was over before I had a chance to completely wake up. At first I thought I may have dreamed the shaking, but my heart was pounding a mile a minute as I sat down to drink a cup of tea just a few moments later. The funny thing is that when I came in to work and googled for information, the news I found about the earthquake came from a news site in Canada. I have yet to find a reliable source of up-to-the-minute news in English in Japan. Hopefully the earth will be still for us for a while.
