I was born and grew up in the city where was said that very big
earthquake will hit there within 20~50 years. So, we were taught by
school teachers what should I do when an earthquake hits. An earthquake
drill was very strict.
When The Great East Japan Earthquake (we call it’s “311”) hit, I lived in Tokyo. I felt very very big shaky. It was the biggest and longest shake I felt ever.
It came at the afternoon. But the previous day was the deadline, I didn’t sleep @_@ Finally I could sleep! in the bed, the earthquake came. In just a sec, I didn’t think and say anything, I opened the window. My husband was surprised very very much. Opening the window is important for keeping an evacuation route. I could do it by very strict earthquake drill, I think.
Japanese seismic intensity is Japanese scale. It’s different from international one. (it’s not Magnitude) Following list is how I feel.

- 1~2 = I don’t feel sometime. If I walk or on the train, I can’t feel it definitely!
- 3 = I feel. Wake up. If I walk or on the train, I can’t feel it sometime…
- 4 = I feel wherever I stand what ever I do and I will open the window, I guess.
- 5 = I felt at The Great East Japan Earthquake. Power poles shook very much. I couldn’t walk well. But all of things in my house didn’t fall :O
- 6 = I have never felt!!! I don’t know what I do. Sometime hit in Japan…
- 7 = The Great East Japan Earthquake
