Title: Major earthquake struck
Post by: Rockers on June 17, 2018, 07:56:42 PM

Wow this was a major earthquake that struck right here in Osaka just now. 6 on the Richterscale, was shaking a lot and was scary as hell. Fortunately no buildings collapsed due to the high building standards. Still this is a reminder to be always prepared for the natural disasters.

Japan and So.Cal!

I grew up in California.  I know the feeling well.  At least when I was younger, all I had to worry about was how strong will this roller coaster ride be...  Totally different now!

Glad you and yours are all ok.

I don't know whats worse, quick killer Tornado's in Alabama or long lasting devastation of Hurricanes in Fl but I sure don't like the thought of an earth quake. No warnings there at all. At least they are shorter than a hurricane but much worse in destruction I'd think.

At any rate, So glad to still have our TBS member representing Japan.
