Today I experienced my third earthquake since I've been here. That means, in 2 and a half months I have experienced 3 earthquakes! It worries me because I know Japan is on the edge of the Pacific Plate and earthquakes tend to happen near places that are close to the tectonic plates.
The first earthquake happened last month - August 9, 2009 with a magnitude of 7.1 and the epicenter near Tokyo.
The second earthquake happened - August 11, 2009 with a magnitude of 6.6 and the epicenter in Chiba.
And today's earthquake - September 4, 2009 with a magnitude of 4.5 and the epicenter in Chiba.
*Just FYI, my prefecture and Chiba are neighboring prefectures so I have been feeling the intensity of the earthquakes!*
