According the news, there was a 5.1 magnitude earthquake below Chiba (near Tokyo) last night. There were no injuries or damage, but local trains out of Yokohama and Tokyo stopped for a while. I didn't feel the quake and was completely unaffected - we live pretty far from Tokyo, and I'm even futher away than usual, on business here in Shimada.
However, I do hate to be reminded that "Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries"; You'd think the newspapers would get tired of mentioning that bit!

Glad to hear that this was a non-event for you.
Shake, rattle and roll.
Glad you were unaffected I hope there weren't many injuries. Between the snow storms in the north and the tremors it sounds like there are frequent natural phenomenon for the countries civil authorities to have to deal with.
