Another blast this morning, the 3rd so far. Must be how the media had carried the news, Singapore started calling us to check our status.
Apparently, news reported that radiation levels have risen in Tokyo. Levels had increased in Saitama. But not harmful levels. There is no cause for any panic.
Good news is that the winds are blowing towards the open sea, away from Japan.
At 10.31pm just now, there was a rather strong tremor. Lasted for about 10sec. Thought it was just another aftershock till I tuned to the live streaming from NHK.
It was an M6 earthquake in Shizuoka prefecture. But here in Tokyo, it probably was a M3 by the time it got here.
Gals were woken by the quake and are now sleeping with us in our room.
But all is well now.
Japan is very quake-ready. Buildings are constructed to withstand earthquakes. So even in last Friday's quake, there were no massive damages to buildings, not even in concrete-jungled Tokyo. It was the tsunami that killed people and caused the greatest destruction.
