Just had another aftershock about 5 minutes ago(5.9). One bump and two shakes.
I was stopped at a red light last night when the major quake hit (6.7 according to local authorities and 7.2 to American and Japanese reports)and at first I thought that my bike was idling funny. Then I realized that it was the street that was moving. Then people came running out into the street. Then, when everyone started going back inside, the next one hit, weaker, but closer. This was a 6.4, 30 km to our south. Again, I was dodging people running into the streets. The joys of living in a seismically active area. Mind you this is the first we've had since early spring.
