This morning in the 7:00 hour, there were three earthquakes in the Tohoku region that could be felt here. The 6.0 one at 7:14, in particular, was very long: this is one thing that is different about the Tohoku earthquakes. Having lived in Japan and in California, both earthquake-prone areas, I have experienced earthquakes all my life. the Sylmar Quake in 1971 is still clear in my memory.
The March 11 earthquake and many of the aftershocks are very lengthy in duration. They just keep going.
Today our scheduled blackout was cancelled. We were both in Tokyo during the time it was to take place. Tomorrow's blackout is planned for 6:00pm to 10:00pm, definitely a more inconvenient time. We might meet in Yokohama to go to dinner so we can eat in the light.
