Thanks to the central weather bureau for getting this up promptly. I was watching the kid take a bath for the 6.4. Pretty scary to think you're leaving the house in under a minute and your half soaked. Well I changed clothes and prepared the kid to go out. Then I hoped another quake won't come while I'm sleeping. I never felt the 5.4. My Wife is watching the December 24, 2004 Tsunami movie on HBO. Think I'd rather watch some silly Japanese cartoons.

heard the neighborhood dogs howling then the windows were a rattlin and then the house was swaying. neighbors filtered outside and discussed the situation in taiwanese... we put some warm clothes by the door... i was sleepy and now i'm still up...

biggest one we've felt for a long time.

2 years to the day of the indian ocean tsunami.
