Some sunny day

Earthquake tally update:

Total: 7 (EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that 4+3!=6.)

Sendai: 4

Anchorage: 3

I feel that I should specify a little bit--this is not a count of how many earthquakes there were in either given location while I was there. It is a count of how many of them I felt, which is quite a different thing.

Also, to spice it up a bit, I thought I might add a little detail.

Today's earthquake occured at 16:18/16:19 local time. It was a magnitude 4.3, centered 21 miles North of Anchorage.

The earthquake I mentioned from the 12th had a magnitude of 4.0, and was centered 19 miles North of Anchorage.

If I may be allowed a moment of completely uninformed observation-- The earthquakes seem to be gentler here than they were in Sendai. I felt nothing greater than about about a 5.0 in either location, but (though seemingly more frequent in Anchorage) the earthquakes of Sendai seemed more...noticeable.

Anyway, that's all for now.

4 + 3 = 7 ;)

Haha! Wow. Go me. I checked my previous post to see if I put the total last or first and...wow, I'm skillful.
