Earthquake

Today at 7:35 this morning there was an earthquake 95 miles south-southeast of Naha, and, unlike the one earlier this year, I felt it. O.o I felt the the earth move under my seat. (Yes, I was sitting down at the time.) Fortunately no sky tumbled down. Unsure as to whether what I felt was real or not, I checked outside and everyone was going about their daily business as though nothing had happened. I thought either it was an earthquake or a very strange aura for an oncoming migraine. Since there was no damage, I'm glad it was the former.

When I got to school I checked on this website to verify what I felt. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html#DISCLAIMER
It's hard to believe just how many earthquakes occur during the week. I guess that's because the news only reports when massive damage and deaths occur, which, fortunately, is not too often.
